#VisioneDaLontano

I see the flight
from Throstle’s Nest
My sight restored
The myopic view on departure
A torn scrap
Burnt to ashes in Victorian grate
The Longer view affords
clarity
only a bird’s eye detects
With echo of lessons
on the wing
Hear its new Voice
Hear it sing

The Maps drawn in childhood
Maps we pour over with friends
Widening as we grow
We step beyond those maps
Losing companions en route
As the view evolves
As the map expands
its place in our heart
A fixed point
A compass back to Home

“How everything vanishes, how brief
is the day for those who love its essence
how brief the night that announces itself
clear with a waxing crescent moon
how everything returns and returns
to nothing.”
Wounds and Reflowerings ~ Giuseppe Conte

A definition of sight
Maybe bird’s eye view ?

It all depends on how you translate context
Vicino or Lontano
Near or Far
Close or Distant
Narrow or Wide

I lean to the bigger picture
Not the local but GLOBAL
