UP CLOSE AND...
Looking at a baby without looking at toes
and fingers and the little creases
in the back of the neck
is to look without
seeing!
Looking at a blossom without also seeing
the way the stem rises out of the
parent plant or the spider
climbs to check
it out
is to look without
seeing!
Looking at the world without looking at
absolutely everything possible to
see and hearing everything
possible to hear and
feeling everything
possible to feel
is to be alive without
living.

I love this poem. It's so beautiful and so pure. It remins me of all the special and "not-to-forget-situations" I had to face in my life. Thanks for the memories who came back, while I was reading your poem. Love, Ine
