180. Two visions

When I see
With my heart,
Earth-perfection
Seems about to bloom.

When I see
With my eyes,
Earth-perfection
Seems a far cry.

I ask my Lord the reason for this.
Here is His answer:
"Son, when you see
With your heart,
It is I who see through your heart.
But
When you see
With your eyes,
It is you who see through your eyes."
