“What’s important is that air is generally transparent,” writes Mitsuyuki Shibata in his remarkable book of photographs, Calling the Sea. Shibata continues: “Our space is generally transparent so we can see stars that are hundred million light years away. But inside air there are tiny water molecules that slightly interfere with light. Water molecules become raindrops when a fair amount of them come together, but normally they are not that large. Mist, haze, fog, these are the things that enable us to see air.”
It’s fascinating to consider how one thing – in relationship to other things – enables us to see.
Water molecules in the air, for example, enable us to see mist haze, fog, and beautiful colors on the horizon. Sometimes that one thing gathers into a larger shape, but not all that often, as water molecules come together to form rain.
What is the one thing in your life that enables you to see and to focus on other things, and hopefully on the splendor of life that is all around us.
