Seeing The Flower

Tree-Mallow Flower
I found this little flower 
and followed the training of 'Memory Culture'
by just painting quickly with my brushes
there on the paper
was a three minute view of my looking through 
'the look' to really 'see'
what was there in front of me.

William Walker Atkinson published a little book in 1903
which leads the reader to perceive
more with the eye than normally.
He says that "the majority
of people 'look at' rather than 'see' things"
so I decided to bring to you, my first quick painting.

I love this little red book called "Memory Culture", 
published in 1903 by The Psychic Research Company,
Chicago,  Illinois, USA. Most likely the book is Out Of Print.
