Do You See What I see?

The "ink blot". Perhaps you have seen these only in movies, they are after all part of a projective psychological test used to draw out psychopathology, or maybe these tools of a fading psychology are a metaphor of life today. We are bombarded with post-modern messages of "everything is relative" and "there is no absolute truth" and while I'm not writing to debate these arguments of trivialities; I have to respect the fact that other people see things differently.

At first glance I see two men balled up in shame while angels watch over them and demons laugh in their faces. Do you see what I see? Perhaps my self in this moment as I'm writing sees this because it is a projection of something in me. Yesterday, maybe I would have seen something different. Tomorrow I probably will see something different. Maybe instead of trying to figure out why some would see something else, or why I would see something else; I should live in the moment and recognize the truth in the moment.
