Sabbatical Reflections: Words on a Page #9 How I See


 How I See

When did it begin?
This way of thinking
This way of seeing myself.

Like Lewis' green lady, I step
outside myself 
and I look. 

Rather than simple 'being', 
I become observer
I watch. I evaluate and I judge.

Unlike his lady, I don't like what I see
My gaze doesn't lift.
My mouth doesn't form in satisfaction.
