How do you see?
Do you see only the crisp edges where black meets white,
or do you see beyond to color
hidden from sight? Do you stop,
turn over the rock, look underneath
to where the earth-
worm slithers back into it's earthy tunnel
while a spider scuttles into grass?
Learn to look beyond.
Real treasures must be peeled apart
much the way you'd peel an onion
a layer at a time. Dare to delve deeper than the surface - look
behind the mirror of pond, what is there besides the sky?
Seek surprise, for within surprise enlightenment waits;
a jack-in-the-box eager to jolt you into seeing
new vistas in all their hidden, myraid beauty.
