To escape your prison invest in it.
Study the walls built around you.
Feel the heavy door keeping you inside.
Lay down on its floor holding your weight.
Look through the bars preventing a wider view.
Unless you know your limitation,
escape is impossible.
Hugo J. K. de Vries

Vision Is Not Just About Eyes
The blindest folk I have ever encountered have been those who willfully had their hands over their own eyes. It was a malady beyond the skill of doctors unless perhaps those who have the cure of souls.
Vision has a lot to do with: (Myrna Carpenter — lecture)
- the capacity to obtain internal clarity
- drawing to a larger view
- energy to stay the course
Vision seems to have as much to do with the capacity to be thoughtful in anxious times as seeing with the eyes.

If you want to build a boat, do not instruct the men to saw wood, stitch the sails, prepare the tools and organize the work, but to make them longĀ for setting sail and travel to distant lands.
