Choosing to See - inquiry

“An average human looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odour or fragrance, and talks without thinking.” da Vinci

“There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.” da Vinci

We went to see a da Vinci exhibit in the Blue Ridge mountain territory. These quotes really struck me as both true and harsh. Did he really mean “classes”? Perhaps not like today.

I know that part of my sacred work is to invite seeing and encourage deep feeling. So on this rainy day I invite you to look outside and see, with me…to choose to be one who sees.

With ♥️ and rain,
