Laura Sewall, ecologist and author of Sight and Sensibility, writes that, like fish swimming through rocks in the sea, the pattern of firing wants to take the path of least resistance.  We see what we’re used to seeing, what we expect to see.  However, vision can change.  […]  It is being as excited as a child and as mindful as an adult that makes all the difference.
