The
Hidden Sphere
(of Artistic Concerns) Cecil Orion
Touchon
71
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.
