"My biography of seeing" is different from any other memoir I
have written or will write.
I see so much differently now then I used to see. I am awake. I notice.
Eyes aren’t able to translate what they don’t know. The more intimate we become with what we know, the more clearly we see those we love and cherish everywhere we go.
I did this with Crape Myrtles: I didn’t know to name them so I didn’t notice them.
Tulip Magnolias: both of these are big, vibrant colorful
trees I used to drive right past.
Now? Each one, tree as prayer.
WORD COUNT: 102
