Unseen

We do not need more intellectual power, we need more spiritual power.  We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen.

~ Calvin Coolidge

There is so much in the world and so much about the people in the world with us that we can't see.  Some of it is stuff we can never see.  

Much of what is unseen in ourselves is that from which we can draw strength.  Our histories.  Our emotions.  Our thoughts.  While these things can surface at times, we are the owners and the only real "understanders" of these things.  And even our own understanding is clouded.

So, have a little faith (and patience) in the unseen.  It is there.  It is there for a reason.  Like underwear.  Or like Leslie's purple peace sign socks.  You can't really see them a lot of the time when she wears them.  But they are there.  And when I commented on them, this was the response:

All warriors wear peace socks.

~ Leslie Lewis

So there you have it.
