Please Observe

How do we observe each other? Get close? Make impressions? How much time and space do we need to be able to see, to make meaning? Is it just a glance? A peep? A look-see? Or is it a stare? A long gaze? A series of examinations? And then through which lens do we see, or want to see? What do we know? Intimacy builds over time but can also be found in brief interactions--meaningful exchanges among strangers. Moments in time. Come. Look. See.
