Look Long Enough

If one looks long enough at almost anything,
looks with absolute attention at a flower,
a stone,
the bark of a tree,
grass, snow, a cloud,
something like revelation takes place.
Something is 'given'....
...May Sarton


It is good and praiseworthy
to look at some real created thing
and to feel and appreciate its reality.
Just let the reality of what is real sink into you.

....Thomas Merton

Suggestion: After opening your car door to get in: Stop. Take two breaths. Look around. Get in.
