-------------------------- Feature Article: What do you SEE?
"We are all saying the same thing in different words." --- Hugh Prather A few years ago, I drove a familiar route home from swim practice a couple nights a week. I trained and competed on a Master's level. My car-mate and swimming companion (who is also a curb appeal junkie) would reference a house with a Jeep. (HWJ) I honestly didn't know what house she was referring to and apparently didn't have the energy or desire to ask. Instead, I would see and comment on the one house that I was consistently curious about. I dubbed this house as the house with the Infiniti. (HWI) This abstract reference went on for months. One day I noticed that right in the middle of the driveway of the HWI, a Jeep was also parked. Apparently, the nearly year of driving home from swim practice conversations were about the exact same house! We both came to realize that HWI = HWJ! Even more interesting, I drive an Infiniti, she drives a Jeep. *** "Sight is a literal extension of one's self." --- Hugh Prather *** A few days ago, I was sitting on my back deck. As I enjoyed the breeze and changing color of the sky, I noticed my solid black cat, Luckie, launched 3 feet into the air and landed loudly on the grass. I assumed she was chasing something. I couldn't see that something that she was chasing. It is possible that she was being chased by something. Either way, something clearly caught her attention. I quickly loose interest, and returned to reading my book. A few minutes later, the acrobatics resumed, and my amusement was rekindled. Still, from my vantage point, my cat was jumping at nothing. I'm almost curious at what she was jumping at, but not enough to get out of my chair to take a look. ***
"... we are
all looking at the same thing and each one of us is seeing
something. But since we are standing in different positions, our
points of view differ. Fortunately, we can move. And we must if we
are to see more."
--- Hugh Prather
