The Vision Thing

I encountered this outdoor photographer overlooking a bay in Maine. he introduced himself as "the wildlife guy" for papers, including the Boston Globe.  Talk about equipment! He had special carrying cases in his car's trunk just to transport it. He was a delightful fellow who gave me pointers as we stood there on the bridge.

Then I remembered TS Eliot:
 
"Happiness does not lie in what you have, or what you want, or what needs to be gotten rid of...Happiness is a different vision altogether."

That paraphrase comes from The Family Reunion, which I have re-read over and over. I also look at the world differently.  It's the inner eye of the heart that "feels the world" and sees beneath the surface of things.
