If you can show
your mind it reminds people that
they have got a mind. If you can catch yourself thinking, it reminds people they can catch
themselves thinking. If you have a vivid moment that’s more open and compassionate, it reminds people that they have those vivid moments.
By
showing your mind as a mirror, you can make a mirror for other people
to recognize their own minds and see familiarity and not feel that their
minds are unworthy of affection or appreciation. Basically, poetics is
appreciation of consciousness, appreciation of our own consciousness.
