looking up

I've been so engrossed in working on my two projects--disability self portraits & African American elders--that sometimes I forget to look, REALLY look, at what's on the edges of my vision. Like this amazing sky framed by buildings in Detroit's New Center area. Thank goodness something tugged at my eyes last night and drew my gaze up to this sight that was changing by the second. Yes, I was surrounded by crowds of people, loud music, lots of action, and incredible energy but--and this is a big BUT--there was so much more going on than I realized. When I stay focused on what's at eye level or below I can miss the big picture. May I remember there are MANY vantage points, each of which shows a part of the whole. May I remember to LOOK. May I learn to SEE.
