Letter 4473
Is what I see, what is?
The sun beats down on a vast green meadow — as I approach I find marsh and wallows.
The glint in the distance, that looks like a fence — a watering hole.
❖
What might I be missing, closer, beneath my eyes? A world inside the smallest thing.
Let me not assume all is as I see.
Consider:
Can I be open to discovery?

❖ “To see a World in a Grain of Sand / And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, / Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand / And Eternity in an hour.” — William Blake, “Auguries of Innocence”
❖ “We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and God is shining through it all the time.” — Thomas Merton, from a recorded conference at Gethsemani
❖ “For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV)
