It began in a family where any initiative or imaginative move brought disaster or rejection, so the inner eye learned to close. What it asks for is to trust one small perception and act on it.
Balaam, the seer whose own sight failed him on the road, so that the beast beneath him saw the angel he could not. The form implies a task: to open the eye that was shut and trust what it shows.
