we all look
but only you see

we all look
but only I see

i catch it for you
the things that I see


Our thoughts are fed by information from our senses. All our senses work simultaneously to make sure we’re nourished.

But once in a while we encounter a frozen sense,
a frozen sense of hearing in a song, a frozen sense of taste in a flavor, a frozen sense of sight in a photograph …

If the image catches us, we’re compelled to pause. Take a break from all the other senses and just focus on this our sense of sight, even for a while, or for a longer while. Then we’re not only nourished, something in us is nurtured.

i saw these
and I caught them for you
