Description

We see with more than our eyes. This is a mystery. We know that even a blind person can see in that larger sense. To see with carefulness and love is a great act of faith.

letting them light upon people and things gently,
without hurry,
could we feel their fundamental use as innocent?

Could we try to see without interpretations,
without requirements...
