It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
Henry David Thoreau
What did you see today?
I saw people paying rapt attention in church.
I saw people leave a wonderful concert at intermission--and not return.
I saw the sun reach its arms up over the mountainous horizon, steady itself, then throw itself into the morning sky, showering the land with pure, malleable gold!
Old H. D. Thoreau's quote makes me think of Simon and Garf..."people hearing w/o listening...writing songs that voices never share..."
I saw a friend, grinning at me like one or both of us was a pure nut-case...likely true--both!

Now for a serious thought--we often look and do not see,
but we still have hope that those who have honed the sharp edges of their eye/mind/heart/soul
will look and hear and see and listen,
and then convert that into....
poetry
prose
sculpture
visual imagery
etc.
