A Keen Eye
A Poem on Being Discerning
Life happens at a frenetic pace in this day of instant gratification. We struggle to satisfy all needs at once, and it is not easy to be discerning. Indeed, developing a keen eye for details and crucial matters is no easy task. I struggle with details.
Having said this, a keen eye is essential. It s trust. It allows us to make effective decision and avoid heartbreaking pitfalls.
So, how can we train a keen eye? Get it to consider details, develop awareness, seek knowledge and cultivate critical thinking. Ultimately, a keen eye also seeks the guidance of providence.

Keen eye
Trained for nuance
Alert and all seeing
Takes into account all around
Focused
Keen eye
Notices all with reasoned mind
Seeks to learn about all
Sees with wonder
Discerns.
