To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

— John Ruskin

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Much of what passes for insight is just accurate attention. Seeing a thing as it actually is, without the layer of wish and fear you usually paint over it, does the work people expect from grand systems of thought. It tells you what is coming, because what is coming is mostly the present continuing. It moves you, because the real thing is stranger than the version you had assumed.

Choose one situation you have described to yourself in the same words for months. Look again with the commentary switched off and write down only what is verifiably there.
