It's a tricky thing, sometimes, to know how closely to look at something. Objects, views, thoughts, experiences, people--anything. If I don't look closely enough, really become aware of what it is made of, I may live too superficially without any real understanding, or miss an opportunity or an insight. But if I look too closely, or for too long, I can get lost in an infinite number of details and forget the context or lose perspective.
In fact, sometimes I think I don't even have a perspective, because I am in a constant flux of different levels of focus, and never know exactly which one to stop at. From the hyper-broad to the absolutely minutial, I can do it all. But I think, in the end, the most appealing, and productive, goal is simply to be able to see everything just for what it is, and let it be.
