You See What You Love

When you truly love something, you begin to see it more clearly.
Love opens your eyes.
It starts with genuine interest and care,
and grows through feeling, learning, understanding, and sharing.
Just like someone who loves tennis will spend time on the court,
learning the rules and mastering the techniques,
love leads you to become an expert in what you cherish.
Even when walking the same forest trail,
people notice different things.
Even reading the same book,
each person highlights different lines.
Love and attention open your eyes.
And when your eyes are open,
you see more deeply,
and understand more fully.
