they came early this morning to check out the possibilities of a new
gas fireplace. the new man a plumber who might provide another
perspective for the contractor (& he did). later in our living room,
the plumber ('Dave') suddenly stopped talking, staring hard at the
Jane Hinton photo diptych of The Firth of Forth. 'Wow. I'm a bit of a
photographer, too. That's amazing, how she did that.' Yes, & see that
other one too. 'Oh, this one is so strong I didnt even see that one;
but hey, it's really good. she is.' what i may see too often but hope
to always see anew he sees that way too & so i see him now in a new
way. seeing what i see aint that always the way.
