Like a photographer fascinated by the world,
Observing people, observing their inner state,
How they interact,
We are looking for social cues,
Desiring to understand cultural meanings,
Translating the world into an image in our minds.
An image that foreshadows the subject matter
Depicts the corners of our minds,
Where we suddenly find uncommon places,
But common ground, as we follow each path.
We begin to see conceptually the connectiveness
Of all things within our universe, yet
A detached pleasure which we experience
In the banality of everyday things,
Not in dictionary definitions, textbook explanations.
In this, we come to know the fabric of life,
And craft a greater existence living within it, if only
In our own tiny corner of space and mind.
