Observe

Care is the quality

that accompanies the perceptions

of the true observer.

To care for what is observed

as one cares for oneself.

Not in the sense of "taking care" of it,

not in the sense of bending one's loyalty towards it.

Care in the sense of feeling it

with the same attention, with the same *care*

as one perceives oneself.

When each outer shape evokes an inner shape

when each texture provokes a sensation

when each relation lights up connections in the mind.

That care

which sprouts curiosity at each turn,

spontaneous multidimensionality,

and primal wonder of the Thing that Is.

To see through into essence,

the Seen is seen

not as a problem to solve,

not as an obstacle to overcome,

not as a prize to attain,

but as a self-worthy Is

which one strives to comprehend

into the domain of our Self.
