and I often write better of a place
when I am some distance from it.
One can be so overwhelmed by the forest
as to miss seeing the trees.”

“Utopia is a collective shift of perception away.
Abundance is all around us.
Only our efforts at tower-building blind us to it,
our gaze forever skyward,
forever seeking to escape this Earth,
this feeling, this moment.”

“My father says that there is only one perfect view —
the view of the sky straight over our heads,
and that all these views on earth
are but bungled copies of it.”
