Wherever we look, whatever we see

Wherever we look, whatever we see
The beauty we see in trees, flowers, gardens, woods, farms
Are reflections of the minds of the women and men who planted them
The beauty we see in nature about us, birds, bumblebees, butterflies, rainbows
Are reflections of our own minds as much as what’s there,
We choose what we see knowingly or otherwise, and miss what others in other cultures or times might see
The beauty—or ugliness—I see in her or him or Hitler or Saddam, or you
Is as much in my thinking as it is there
Whatever meaning, wherever we look, whatever we see
