Here is my secret. It’s quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.**
(The Little Prince)

The quick pulse,
The long look,
The one natural law.^
(Rebecca Elson)

I look
but do not see,
I look again
and hardly see
I look once more
and am astonished at
all the heart can see.

To see
Takes such effort.

(*The title of a book by Lawrence Weschler which made me think of seeing beneath the surface and beyond the name or label of something or someone.)
