Hay-Ku of the Day (Mental Myopia)

(Too Close to Call Photograph)

Too Close to Call (2009); Although we can surmise this is a clock, we cannot tell what time it is, or even whether it is working, based on the narrow perspective this particular visual (as well as mental) focal length provides; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

Step back mentally
And you will see All things in
Their Proper Context.

Step back mentally
And you will see you are not
What you think you are.

[Rich Note: The “short focal length and narrow breadth of vision” we are subject to when self-identified with the "subject-object/self-other" orientation of "relative thought" has the effect of blinding us to the Totality of Being.]
