Have words in a book ever jumped out and hit you between the eyes?
That was my experience this morning while reading, Learning to See Again, Chapter 2 of Only the Lover Sings, Art & Contemplation, written in 1952.
“Man’s ability to see is in decline…
The spiritual capacity to perceive
The visible reality as it truly is…
There is too much to see…
What can be done?”
Josef Pieper responds to his own question… “a more patient openness for all things quiet & inconspicuous… The capacity to see increases.”
