:: looking. walking. being ::

" I look and look.

Looking's a way of being: one becomes

sometimes a pair of eyes walking.

Walking wherever looking takes one.

The eyes

dig & burrow into the world.

They touch

fanfare, howl, madrigal, clamor.

World and past of it,

not only

visible present, solid & shadow

that looks at one looking.

And language? Rhythms

of echo & interruption?

That's a way of breathing,

breathing to sustain

looking.

Walking & looking,

through the world,

in it."

{Denise Levertov}

Today I walked

wherever my eyes

took me.

I let them lead the way...

a journey from the eyes to the

mind to the heart.
