“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see. ”
–Henry David Thoreau.
Do I see my son talking back and being cynical or do I see a young man somewhat insecure asserting his independence for the first time?
Do we see people trying to be better than they were or do we see them fall short?
How do we see ourselves? Do we see our failures, out successes or a combination of both?
Do we see the beauty inherent in even the most grotesque of people and events or do we only look at the ugliness?
What is it we want to see. Our choices make us who we are.
Blessings, G

“Our choices make us who we are.” So true and thank you!
Thank yo u
You seem to be reading my mind. I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how we see things lately. I’ve even incorporated this idea into some of my recent pottery pieces. I love the way you put words to the idea here. Thanks
Thank you… I was really happy the words i wrote on this trip managed to make sense 🙂
It’s all in the eye of the beholder, hey? Everything.
