In matters of art
we are taught to find the focal point
make it interesting, send a message.
But in life
it's not always that easy.
The background is confusing
minutia to sift through
before you "see" what you are meant to
in the big picture.
If you arrive at that point at all.

Wow. This is up there with my favorites.
I love what you wrote, here. This morning I read a Slate article about boredom being a useful pathway to creativity. I can see that, and I can see 'being quiet' a good pathway to 'seeing'.

Okay, this is one powerful image and the insight you shared, well it's a quote I'm hanging onto! Feel like your words needs to be imbedding in this piece somehow, they are so interconnected.
