Ocular Occlusions

Looking through a simple magnifier Words look as big as your thumb, Meanings, however, are not a justifier For our being so outrageously dumb. Never believe everything is as you see, And be careful not to draw conclusions For lots of things are very likely to be The result of our ocular occlusions. written November 30, 2021

"be careful not to draw conclusions" This is something I have to constantly remind myself to not do.

I think we all have a propensity to do that, Caren. It's important to recognize the folly of them, I think.
