Julie Andrews Edwards Quote
Early one beautiful summer evening, when everyone else was drinking indoors, Tony and I walked down to the river. We lay on the grass under a tree and chatted. At one point, Tony said, Look at the pattern of lace the leaves make against the sky. I looked at the canopy above us, and suddenly saw what he saw. My perspective completely shifted. I realized I didn't have his eyes -- though once he pointed it out, it became obvious. It made me think, My God, I never look enough, and in the years since, I've tried very hard to look -- and look again.
