half seeing

how much do we want to see?
how much can't we see?
and how much difference would it make if
we could see the things we're missing?

i look inside me and around me and i see
a whole ton of half understanding, half looking,
half holding.

watching it today in two people i care about,
i was amazed. it was so obvious and they had
no clue.

it felt hopeless.
as i sit here and think about it, i worry
about my own seeing.
is it that hopeless???

is the desire to see enough?
i don't think it can be.
there has to be more.
but what?

an open heart?
a willingness to let go of preconceived ideas?
a willingness to throw the safety net away?

maybe....

i don't know....
but i so want to be able to see better.....

can i?
will i?
when i think of today and what i watched, i think
i just have to. i just have to.

again.....it's entirely up to me, isn't it?
