The
Hidden Sphere
 (of Artistic Concerns) Cecil Orion
Touchon

When we assume we know something
 we immediately dismiss it as familiar
and look no farther.
 Unknowingly,
 we soon become superficial
 which leads to arrogant ignorance.
 This is a great disease among us.
 Though Life is extraordinary,
 we regard it as common.
 The mastercraftsmen become aware
of this disease
 within themselves and strive toward
wakefulness.
 Abandoning assumption, they examine
 even the most common occurrences
 and discover the extraordinary
within them.
 In this way they overcome
  the most common of human
illnesses:
 ignorance.
