the origin of vision
the stalk, this lifting up, we stand up as we see that which is against us, we lift up to look, to see the tree, the face to face, not because our legs extend but because the origin of our vision lies in the stalk of legs, the reach up, the origin of vision as that moment of forced rising, reaching to see, look over the wall, the origin of vision not in seeing something but in the stance, the stalk, that which we are lifted by into that which we see from, the origin of vision is nothing visual.
