Novelty is dependent on the perspective of the viewer. One can look out the same window everyday for a lifetime and see either an unchanging view or an unfolding story.
So how do you find the right mindset? By zooming out, you can observe the great shapes that define a space. The general landscape, the ups and downs, the lights and darks. This dualism of one extreme or the other is how we sense our boundaries and experience our limits.
But if we live only in the dark and light realm of vision, we will become bored, rigid, too hardened. We won't recognize the subtle nuance that softens an edge and shadows a corner.
In the middle are thousands, millions, billions of shades. One is not hard or soft, dark or light...but both.
This is a zooming in, where the form becomes unrecognizable from the texture that infuses it. The colors blend and bend and fuse to shades and hues unnamed. Here, in the minutia we learn that we are not one or the other but all and whole and one.
This is a wonderful place. This is a wonderful life. This is a wonderful day.
I have seen it many times and never. Let me bask in its beauty once and always.
Amen.
