To See What's To See

What is the portent of this burning candle? Someone, anyone answer. ("It is expending itself.") Someone else, what is the portent of this candle? ("It lights up the dark.")

If we put the letters "in-" before the word "portent," then wonder, significance, and meaning are "in" everything, every moment. Or, everything is "in-portent"!

~jpc, "New Evangelism," 1973

O, to see what's to see. Namaste.
