First impressions are important, but they don’t tell the whole story. There is much you don’t see that only comes from learning to know someone. Listening and communicating takes you to a much deeper level than first your impression. In some cases, first impressions might not draw you to a person, but after learning to know them you find there is a whole other side to them that no one sees. These photos are the other side of the guitar I repaired and painted. Yesterday you saw only the front first impression. Here it the other side!
First impressions
What you see is not always what you get
Surface images just one-sided perception
Seeing superficially without depth
Judging quickly from first impressions
Assuming we know the whole by a part
First slide on our screen incomplete
Browse mind’s leaves to see hidden wonders
Images of beauty depth beyond our first impressions
Jewels of wonder amazement and knowledge
Crystals buried deep in geodes of the mind
Waiting to be cracked open and beauty revealed
Knowing first impression’s evoke invitations to delve deeper
Wonders and knowledge beyond imagination
Not ascertained at first impression
