Observe and Interpret

Eyes,observe,
With the intention,
of learning a lot more,

Mind,interpret,
Open your thoughts,
Unanswered questions for sure,

Don't just roll through life,
Like the wheels on a car,
Observe and Interpret,
You might find a star.

Observe and Interpret,
Don't just look and see,
You see the outside,

Buts what's important,
Is inside of me..

What a wonderful message here....and so worthy yes....how often we just roll along without a second thought, without taking the time to observe and interpret. There is so much, we may miss if we don't slow down, and drink it in!
