How we see what we look at
makes all the difference.

How would we go about changing
how we see what we look at?

Asking, "What makes it easy for me
to look at things the way I do?"
might be a start.

Pausing to look at how we are looking
at things, might help.

Being intently curious about everything--
particularly at how we look at things--
could make a difference.

Taking a walk-a-bout around how we see
what we look at,
and how we think about what we think about,
would provide some separation 
between our looking and thinking
and the things we look at and think about.

Anything we can do to slow down 
the rush to judgment,
which hinders both our seeing and our thinking,
will be an aid in seeing and thinking.

And anything that helps us see and think
with greater clarity and understanding
will help us on our way though the sea
with its heaving waves and clashing rocks.

And that would be a good thing.
