Hay-Ku of the Day (Seeing Forever)

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]

(Mount Everest Photograph)

Mount Everest from Rombok Gompa, Tibet (John Hill, 2005); From the foothills the "context and related meaning of what is seen is “one thing”; yet that “same thing” seen from the mountain top is entirely different or perhaps even non-existent; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

“Where you are looking
From” determines the context
And meaning of things.

You can change the way
You look at things by changing
“Where you're looking from.”

[Rich Note: These were partially and jointly inspired by something Paul Hedderman mentioned during a 5-17-05 downloadable AA talk ( view link ) I listened to this morning, as well as by the sub-title of Jackie O’Keeffe’s book sub-title: “The Freedom You Are Looking For is Where You Are Looking From” ( view link ).]
