What do we overlook?
What instances or occasions do we choose to not observe, acknowledge, or try to comprehend?
How can we ignore the shifting beauty of the leaves, the final days of colour before wicked winds, a nightly chill, turn our landscape to a humble grey.
We will feel the deficit, unnoticed in the entirety.
What happens when we do not stop to pay attention to the slight motion of a raindrop in a puddle on a drizzly day, or look past the kaleidoscope haze as errant drops diffuse light on the lenses of your eyeglasses.
Our vision is not clear to the reality of people passing by on the sidewalk, on the way to work or school, perhaps paying as little attention to the surroundings as we do.
