diptych # 31 (civilized ku # 2522-23) ~ not my eyes that see / pictures + words project

Waterfront planks and stuff ~ Blue Rocks - Nova Scotia, Canada • click to embiggen

It was something in the street and it moved a little in the wind, as a leaf would. A wrapper? Something about it. It's beautiful, I thought. Did I... just think trash was beautiful? This was a strange place. A place where veils were lifted. Not only did I see a thing but I saw it as something beautiful; I saw its curve and shape; I saw the light in it. I nearly wept. My eyes, I thought, they keep changing. But it is not my eyes that see. ~ Cynthia Hecht

FYI As I think about it, the thought comes to mind that a fitting subtitle for the pictures + words project could be, in the words of the "Human Jukebox" (aka, Sleepy LaBeef*), It ain't what you eat, it's the way how you chew it.

I am also coming to the conclusion that a proper working title for the project is simply On Seeing.

*I would really like to see Sleepy one more time before he's not around anymore.
