I love what thoughts this brought up for you! I can't remember what I was thinking of whilst I wrote it haha, but I'm glad you saw one of my own values - You've got me pondering deeper now! I definitely agree with you that there's a balance to it all, and like you've shared, what we don't see is just as vital and I guess, from my current opinion, some of us are trying to tip the scales into balance by reminding people of what they can't see, and it's importance - I feel this sight has been lost so much in our world, unless we're called into a crisis to remind us, like an 'unseen' health scare that makes itself known, seeing the roots of a tree beneath the surface of the ground, the climate crisis speaking through the melting ice caps - perhaps if we paid closer attention and saw what was unseen first, we could avoid a lot of the suffering to ourselves, others and our planet - I'd love to hear your further thoughts on that if anything comes! 😊
I enjoyed this poem. It’s extremely thought provoking…
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for reading Ron :) I'm really glad you enjoyed it - what thoughts did it provoke in you out of interest?
What’s hidden, what we “don’t see” is as vital as what we can see. There’s a balance to all of it, don’t you think!
And, all too often, we fail miserably by “only” looking with our eyes.
That’s just a start…of my pondering…🤔
