Document Summary
Art of seeing things: art of seeing things - always more than meets the eye. You can observe something but then go deeper and understand interactions. Struggle to see bad things in something you love. You can be blind in love because you only see the good. Must have a passion to get through it. Reading the book of nature: most important thing in describing nature- is not about what we see. Other species on the other hand can walk mere hours after they"re born or are literally kicked out of the nest to fend for themselves. Having an open mind with no bias would be useful in the natural world and society as well. If everyone had this ability, there would not be as much drama. Keeping iron from our souls: take note of important words in short essay, imagery- there"s a ton of it, industry is destroying nature, environmental conditions effect people"s minds and souls - find quote.
