Seeing anew

We often work intentionally to see things clearly. Clarity feels virtuous in this way.

It also suggests singularity.

But what happens when we work instead to see things differently? To intentionally unsettle our point of view? Not just to be open, but to have an active curiosity about diverse perspectives. To exercise seeing differently in the same way we’d develop a skill.

It’s not forgetting our initial perspective. Rather, it’s about exploring other angles. Like investigating the underside of a table. Or clearing a room entirely to see it plainly for the first time in years.

When we change how we see, the world changes indeed.
