I know my brain ignores most of what I could see. Incapable of processing everything, it has deep patterns of what to notice, and what to ignore.
How can I see more? Walk more slowly. Even better, stop. Let the first wave pass, and keep looking. Soften, let the gaze become wider, more peripheral, more three-dimensional. Observe in different ways - colors, shapes, textures, movement, light, shadow, edges and boundaries.
Eventually mind wants to move on, tires of this view, begins to shut down, to assume all is seen. Make it stay, recommit awareness, and find a deeper layer of perception.
