Video: Seeing Blindness


Video for 



We 
are often
blind

to what we
see
everyday.

*




We are
funny people.

We 
dream
and 
long

for a
perfect day
to come.

When it 
shows up,
we cannot even 
celebrate it
because
we 
don't even
realise 
it has.

Eyes 
that 
see

and

ears
that
hear

-
we get our
basic equipment

but
we 
miss out 
so much
on what 

we
already 
have

and

what we 
now
can have.

What 
is this
handicap?

What
distraction
is so powerful
to 
blind and deafen 
us from what have
fallen onto our laps?

Perhaps
we 
dream 
about
tomorrow
too much.

We are always
wanting,
needing,

what we 
do not 
have.

We long 
for the
perfect days
that will 
never come
because they 
do not
exist.

We are fired up to 
dream.

We are encouraged to 
hope.

It inspires us
to 
grow.

It excites us
with visions of
what 
we can have,

where 
we can be.

But
how could we 
get to our
destination

when we 
do not
even 
know

where we are
now?

One of my 
guilty pleasures
is
dreaming.

Guilty,
because I could 
indulge 
in quantities of
more than I should
it 
sickens
me.

I write and draw
my dreams,

draft 
grand plans

and 
unfailingly spiral down
to 
a state of longing
that's so unhealthy it 
starves my hope 
for the future.

It seems
the 
more I
desired,

the 
more
discontented
I became.

This longing
exhausts
us
from 
enjoying
what we 
now have.

Let's 
slow down
to
notice
wherever we are.

We don't have to 
wait 
for
the future to come.

Let's not worry about
tomorrow
because
we cannot control
what exactly 
will happen.

While 
what is ahead 
remains in 
darkness,
one 
sure thing
shines out

-
we have the 
gift of
now.

It 
has come,
it 
is 
here
for 
you and me.

Notice,
embrace
now

then
it will 
help you
understand 
why 
you are going to 
where you are going

and 
it will 
reveal
how 
you could
get there.
