Window to the Soul


By Abraham Eshetu

I noticed and approached a wall of windows with a see-through curtain hanging over them. I tried to see the skyscrapers, the cars and the highway, but I couldn't because the curtains were blocking my view. I thought that moving to the shade and changing my point of view would help, but it just made the view darker. As I stepped closer and closer to the light, the view was getting clearer and I realized that changing my perspective on the world was determined by my personality. The shadows in the photo symbolize the darkness of someone's personality, meaning the anger, the hate, the jealousy and all that is bad in the world. Walking towards the light means joy, happiness, love and all the optimism in the world. I walk confidently towards the light, the window to my soul.
