What this is all about

Helen Keller once said, ‘To have eyes and fail to see is the greatest calamity that can befall us.’ So many of us are blind to the joy and wonders around us. If only we could look once more in wonder — at our skies, lakes, fields, forests, landscapes, even at ourselves… such wonder could utterly change our lives. But why do we fail to see? There are lots of reasons, but the main one is that nobody ever showed us.

Our parents didn’t, since nobody showed them. Besides, we’re mostly too busy to notice. And we are so occupied with the tiny screens on our phones that we never look up, anyhow. This website’ could be an answer, if you join with me in making it work. You see, the website also give you a chance to have your say too, and to share your sights and insights. So will you help me develop it, by sending in your comments, insights, suggestions and pictures? Please do.

By the way, the pictures are all taken by me. As a photo-journalist I have had a ball all around the world, but the photos I am happiest with are the ones taken here in Ireland. And those are mostly what you are seeing here.

One more thing-- I am also going to use this website for all sorts of other things that come to my mind, so bear with me when I sometimes veer off from Mndful Looking to some other thing that facinates me or bothers me. That's what the heading OTHER STUFF is about.

All the best for now.

~ David
