Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
I was reading my students a story and there was a picture of horses with blinders on the sides of their eyes. And the students asked me, “Why do the horses have their eyes covered up?”
And I answered, “They can see but the blinders only allow them to see what is directly in front of them. If we took off the blinders the horses could see what was in their peripheral.” And that got me thinking. This is what many of us are doing. We have blinders on and if we just had the courage to remove them we would see what’s in the peripheral. With the blinders on we are not looking all around us. I pray that you take your blinders off and really look at what is in the peripheral and you will see what I see. I simply cannot give up until all of our eyes are opened to the peripheral. Then we will see the evidence that will guide us to the truth. If you are someone who has your blinders off or someone who is willing to take them off, I am here too.

I really love how you took an inquiry from a student, and then applied your thoughts and feelings to it. This idea of opening up, and even looking at something not directly is interesting to me...I wonder if this could be played with in the sense of perspective writing?
