See

Saying thing that is on your mind is easy, seeing them that’s the problem. Have you ever found yourself looking at your white towels and see that there just a little off? So you wash them a few times and they seem like new. The warm fabric between your fingers and you close your eyes, your home. Like your mind can’t see anything else and you don’t mind.


There was a time when I thought that I saw all the little things or at least most of them. These days I know I don’t. I see loads of trees everyday but when you stop to look at them. They have these odd branches that’s so peculiar and it seems like you should have seen them a million times, but you haven’t. There is so many things that is just like that, cars; people; flowers; clouds and I could go on for days.

It’s like we go in to some sort of “sleep” were we see nothing. We go on holiday to see the wild yet we don’t look at the birds in our own trees. Do you know what kind of trees you have? I don’t. What birds sing their beautiful songs in the morning, do you know? I don’t. Never ones took the time to see the beauty right out my front door.

We spend thousands on thing that we want, and we appreciate them for what their worth to us. Yet the most magnificent things in life are free and we don’t take two minutes out of our day to look at true beauty. Like the grace that a butterfly has when it flies from one flower to next. Or the sweet honey sound of a bee. The movement of the leaves as the wind plays along the edges. Or just the warmth of the morning sun.

To say you feel, is to say you see with your heart through your mind.
