See

I’m an artist and designer. Always looking, always seeking, always questioning my view of my world.

I notice how much our listening of the world dictates HOW we see. Do we see life as literal, factual, determined for us or a delicious invite into exploration and intrigue? Where do we get stopped in life by our predisposed views of the world we walk through? How is what we see and how we see dicated by our culture? By our automated machine called human? When do we let go and really BE in the moments of seeing?

We are seeing all the time. Even blind people see. Where does seeing come from? Yep, there’s the physical mechanics of how we see. The cones, etc. But that’s not what I’m talking about here. That’s not what I’m interested in.

I’d say seeing is active. Our minds are always churning meaning from what we see into how we see. We are thinking, feeling Beings (some more, or less, than others, heehee). Assessing, reassessing, judging the world we walk through. Seeing triggers all the senses. That is what moves us with art and music or watching a tender moment between two people or a sunset. We all are engaged, or not engaged, for very different reasons. We hear with our eyes and see with our ears. I’ll say it again…..we HEAR with our eyes and SEE with our ears.

I ask YOU…what is seeing? What are you seeing and how?
