To see is life*

Drawing isn’t such hard work but seeing is.**
Tom Vanderbilt

You can’t see what your group can’t see.^
Richard Rohr

Seeing is for life,^^
It is an infinite game skill –
Seeing what is
rather than
what we think there is:
Everything we are
is a potential filter for seeing
the world –
It will take
the whole of our lives
and a lot of effort
to see things clearly;
For this I need your help

*This is always more than visually seeing;
**Tom Vanderbilt’s Beginners;
^Richard Rohr’s The Tears of Things;

^^Art is primarily about seeing, providing a metaphor for life: the better our seeing, the better our living – not in comparison with others but for the sake of others.
