Find little beauties.
Take a closer look.
As your attention narrows
the object expands
beyond measure.
What was once a discrete object,
limits defined,
is now a world without end,
just as Earth is a neat, little sphere from far away
but on the ground it is an intricate plane
stretching off into infinity
all around you.
Wander across the vast, vast
leaf.
It could take weeks to explore
all the way
from tip to stem.
To travel all of its roads
could take a lifetime.
Hike the peaks and valleys
of the texture
of a paper.
Everything is strange and wonderful!
...except for the little room of ideas you live in.
The deadness you see in the world
is only the deadness of those ideas
reflected back at you,
which you mistake
for the truth.
Clean your eyes
and let them receive
the vitality and intelligence
of the endless and alien
construction of the cosmos
on display
in all the little beauties.
