Sightless (poem) by George M Jackson on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on February 21, 2005

"... this sightless eye of self-discovery Blinded by what it hopes to find..." Yet another stunning introspective, George, and I know I suffer the same "blankness" when I also try to understand these riddles. I have been thinking this week of the curious thing about writing about deep feeling: am I writing about what I am ACTUALLY feeling - or writing about what I THINK I'm supposed to be thinking... and, if I'm thinking about that, then I'm not actually feeling these things at all, rather THINKING them...????!!!!! I am getting the hunch, somehow, that we are two of a kind...!!! :))) Thank you for writing "me" thoughts better than I ever could. They look good the way YOU write them!! TY Kate xx

To learn is to know we are alive. There is no challenge in what we already know. "Life is for learning...Live it well."
Take care,

We always search, we always learn. We take personal inventory and grow from our mistakes. And hopefully, we'll never stop learning. We may not always like what we see, but we do need to accept it...

"Seek those that search for the truth and run from those that have found it..."

Striking words forming lines of poetic-philosophical excellence; delivering a poem of ontological and teleological message.
