… I am the necessary angel of earth,
Since, in my sight, you see the earth again.*
(Wallace Stevens)
It is very possible to see what has already taken place, less so what is happening around us right now because it’s still playing out, but the most difficult and the most necessary seeing is what can be and has not been imagined or tried.
Yet, we’re all capable of this seeing.
(*From Wallace Stevens’ The Necessary Angel.)
