Spyhole Filters


How could it have gotten worse today? Why am I always involved? Sometimes I wish I was the kind of person who was able to have my own focus, the let things be type. But I am so not. Injustice upsets me like it does the kids. Not as petty, perhaps, but I get just as indignant. I know that I am still a kid. In so many fundamental ways my thinking is unchanged. There is a veneer of perspective, abstraction, civilization, ethics, maturity---whatever you want to call it. More than a veneer. Another me. A kid me. An adult me. A me from every age. To be a full adult is to be a multiplicity. A collection of lenses that I can use as spyhole filters and peer at the world.
