Unfocused

by Nathan Friedly · July 19, 2026

Cross my eyes and get the focus just wrong, and then it appears: a circle, a leaf, an elephant, a formerly invisible world.

Suddenly my eyes refocus and this new world disappears.

How much magic am I missing, that's right there in front of my eyes, if only I could see it?

Maybe I should unfocus more often.
