Open Windows…

Open windows left at bay. Pouring out or letting in? No reason at all, just open. I suppose it depends on the viewer as to the purpose of the open window. Exit or entry is the question. But who wants to leave and who wants to arrive? Again only the viewer can best answer this question. Check your surroundings, is it raining? Should the window be open because there is smoke inside? Is it a sunny day and fresh air is doing the inside good? Or is it hot and humid and the air is full of pollen? Again I suppose it depends on the viewer. Viewers don’t always explicate their reasons, they act, assuming that those around understand, when in actuality, no-one really knows what you are thinking; unless they have similar thoughts based on the general summations of the surroundings. Why can’t things just be simpler? We constantly have to think of others, being mindful of what they think, how they feel, how my actions will affect them, etc. Trust me, it’s all for a reason; again, a reason that affects the viewer the most.

If you were to pass an open window today, what would it mean? Would you as the viewer interpret it as a way to get in, or a way for something to get to you? Something like the smell of peach cobbler being slowly baked, or good old fashioned fried chicken. Each viewer has their own perspective, I’ll choose mine, and you choose yours. But in all things giving thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you.

I suppose open windows have saved lives. Families escaping from fire owe their lives to an open window. Perhaps carefully analyzing your window today could lead to a better understanding of why you are passing this way. Have a nice “VIEW!”

Peace…
