See as much as you can see, I guess. Rachel Carson said most of us go through life "unseeing." I do that some days... I think it's easier to see when you're a kid. We're not in a hurry to get anywhere and we don't have those long to-do lists you guys have. Jim Lynch
About This Quote

See as much as you can see, I guess. Rachel Carson said most of us go through life "unseeing." I do that some days...I think it's easier to see when you're a kid. We're not in a hurry to get anywhere and we don't have those long to-do lists you guys have. When Rachel Carson was a child, she saw the world through fresh eyes.

She didn’t have a checklist of things she had to get done and a long list of things she had to buy before she could afford them. She didn’t have a job with a boss who told her how to do her job. Rachel Carson was able to see the world around her because she didn’t conform to the system of what was allowed and what wasn’t.

That made her see things that others would miss because they were too busy trying to fit into that system.
