“"We do a lot of looking: we look through lenses, telescopes, tubes... Our looking is perfected every day - but we see less and less."
I probably should have read The Zen of Seeing when it was written in 1973. It has the look of my old well-loved Vegetarian epicure, a sort of buff paper covered book with pen and ink sketches and hand writing. It's fast and easy, and the point is that if one draws the everyday objects in his or her world, the world slows down becomes more sane and recognizable. It's good for the mind to stop and really see. The book felt a little dated to me, but still has a good message.”
