What You See

To my father. For music and poetry, and everything, and especially this:

1971

HANK: I have no idea what I’m doing, Dad. Every day, I’m just making it up as I go.

DAD: That’s what everyone’s doing, honey. Just making it up as they go.

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

– Henry David Thoreau

What we see depends mainly on what we are looking for.

– John Lubbock

Things don’t change. You change your way of looking, that’s all.

– Carlos Castaneda
