Heidegger

>From Jamake Highwater in his book Dance:

“I was once given advice by an old Indian. ‘You must learn to look at
the world twice,’ he told me as I sat on the floor of his immaculately swept
adobe room. ‘First you must bring your eyes together in front so you can see
each droplet of rain on the grass, so you can see the smoke rising from an
anthill in the sunshine. Nothing should escape your notice. But you must
learn to look again, with your eyes at the very edge of what is visible. Now
you must see dimly if you wish to see things that are dim — visions, mist,
and cloud-people. . . animals which hurry past you in the dark. You must
learn to look at the world twice if you wish to see all that there is to
see.’”
