Can you tell a Meditator?

When reviewing the photograph of blogger, husband and dogs, it occurred to this blogger that maybe to the untrained eye, we don't look as if we meditate!  But then, the eye doesn't really see beyond the form and it takes a determined mind to see behind the apparent.  Maybe that is why so many religious communities and denominations wear particular colours and clothes, so that the untrained eye can transmit likeness to the mind which stores away the information.
So, what can we say we do actually see when we see a person, a person in tweed, or in orange robes, or in black clothes and dog collar, or glorious purple Bishop's robes, reddish ochre Buddhist robes, Sikh Turbans, saris and spots in the middle of the forehead, or the wonderful BK's in white.  We see a person in the above mentioned outfits and we deduce something extra about them.  This blogger thinks that it might be good to go back to the basic fact that each person is just one person and that it that oneness which is the one certain fact about them which can't be argued with, the eye sees one and the mind sees one.  It should perhaps stay like that.
This blogger thinks that meditating on the one would make the difference especially if you begin to think that maybe that person striding along with dogs is as one as you! And so is the dog one.
