Showing through the pane

Over the front door is an arched window.  It's too high to really see very much of what is going on.  But it is good if you want to know what the weather is.  One of the trees in the front yard can partially be seen.  So, if the wind is blowing the limbs on the tree are moving and bending.  If it is raining or lightning the pane on the glass is wet or brightens up.  You can see if it is light or dark outside.

The window from the inside of our minds works much the same way.  We see out based on what appears in front of it - everything making up our experience.  Of course, what I see out the physical window is cyclical and bound by the four seasons of the year.  But, then, our experience is bound as well to the cycles our lives are in.  I understand that, but I sure don't like it.  Some of the best times of life are rotated out of existence by the cycles.
