What does your eye see? Does it see what your brain wants it to see or does it see what your heart yearns to see? If you are like me its probably both. Spend some time walking around our city and try to digest the information being thrown at us. How can our brains process all of it? Street signs, advertisements, people, hazards, constant movement. Then think about what someone walking around their town 96 years ago would see. I'd be willing to bet the farm on their visual variety being far less bothersome and intrusive. When I walk around the city I find myself looking up at the spaces around the buildings silhouetted against the sky. When I walk the woods I find myself looking at the textures and colors of natural stuff. Now, if the advertisers could find a way to implant real nature into the goods they are trying to sell me maybe I would pay attention. Until then I am saving my super ocular processing for that which brings free joy to my life.
