To discern is to see beyond the obvious—
to peel back layers of noise and illusion,
to listen deeply to what whispers beneath the surface.
The Subtle Vision
Discerning is not just about observation—
it is about perception tempered by wisdom.
It calls for patience, attention, and the willingness
to sit with uncertainty until clarity arises.
Navigating Complexity
In a world overflowing with information and distraction,
discernment is our compass—
guiding us through complexity toward truth.
It allows us to separate the essential from the trivial,
the genuine from the false.
The Dance of Intuition and Reason
True discernment balances heart and mind,
inviting both intuition and reason into dialogue.
It is the gentle dance between knowing and questioning,
between certainty and openness.
A Practice of Presence
To discern is to be fully present—
to meet each moment with quiet awareness,
ready to uncover what others might miss.
It is a skill refined through mindfulness, reflection, and experience.
In the End
Discerning is a gift we give ourselves—
the gift of seeing with clarity,
choosing with intention,
and acting with integrity.
It reminds us that beneath the surface,
truth waits patiently for those who seek it with open eyes.
