The Habit of Seeing

"I like to change my habit of seeing."
I think it was the musician John Cage who said thisbut it might have been another musician or artist or writer.

Maybe you are working on a bookand the intricate pieces of it are becoming as tangled as a mangrove forest(above)
Maybe you change your settingso that everything is new again
Maybe you kick off your shoes

and walk in the sand
Maybe you ponder the wildlife


And visit old friends(wildlife of another sort)
Maybe you contemplatethe blue green oceanand the white white sand

Maybe you do all thatand restore your mindand your soulso that your story or song or paintingrealigns



so that you see your way aheadcalmly and clearly.
Maybe.
Beaming you all sun and sand and blue green water.
