Dim Windows of the Soul

This Life’s dim windows of the Soul
Distorts the Heavens from Pole to Pole
And leads you to Believe a Lie
When you see with, not thro’ the Eye

I like this poem by William Blake although I couldn't really tell you what it means. My best guess is "Seeing is NOT believing". I like taking pictures but I don't kid myself about how deceiving they can be. The lovely picture of the rose bud in the summer rain shower at the top of my blog is really a carefully staged photo, where I meticulously set the flower vase on a sawhorse with the sunlight behind it while my son held the sprinkler and I calculated that a 1/60 f-stop would give just the right motion blur to the "raindrops". Of course with Photoshop, no telling what's real in a photo anymore. True in photos, true in life.
