Spiritual maturity is largely a growth in seeing, and full seeing seems to take most of your lifetime, with a huge leap in your final years.*
Richard Rohr

The world is alive, generous, and waiting patiently for us to figure it out.**
Tom de Blassos

We were told by our parents,
“You look with your eyes, not with your hands,”
But that isn’t true –
There are many ways of looking:
Our looking develops our talents,
And our talents grow our looking.

We are made for looking;
Sometimes we get our looking wrong,
But sometimes we get it very right, and
we want to sing a song of joy –
And when we do, it’s as though the world joins in.

Determine never to stop looking –
You’ve got the look, too.
