Vol. 2. / 185.) Do Not Look For The Expected




Do not look for the expected ---
You’ll find it and be disappointed
For what you expect will blind you
To what you haven’t thought of yet
Which, had you not expected to see
What you already knew, you might
Have come across it, and seen it
Enough to actually notice it ---

Many paint pleasantly the surface
Appearances, and are clever at it ---
But always a few get to be underneath
And feel the undercurrent ---
These know --- that if they cannot feel
An undercurrent they are painting
Only a series of things ---
Which though novel and attractive
At first --- soon grow tiresome

There is an undercurrent --- the reality
Beneath all appearances everywhere.
It is the sensing of this --- behind ---
All things that lends the power that
Makes the eye see and the hand move
In ways which result in things --- alive
That can breathe --- and effect change
