Infinity is a condition we experience in living.

There is an infinite number of possibilities within every present moment. To sense every possible part of what is here doesn’t come at first glance. You have to pause to wonder. You have to stop to consider what is at hand in every possible manner.

To reduce the situation at hand into layers of our own perception.

But what if a bright light cast itself upon this moment would we capture all it has to offer us? Would we see the thing for itself?

The light becomes the focal point rather than enhancing the things for themselves. You take up a scene, with things, within things, within a thing. To take in the things before you acknowledge the light that contributes to you seeing it.

Even whatever you are seeing may not be the fullness of what could be seen. There are always more questions to be asked.

Nothing is ever a thing in itself. Your acknowledgement of its presence already only can be revealed in so much as you are able to see it.

Everything presents itself as something else. Something in itself is not you. You are fundamentally separate from all things in the world.

We see the world through ourselves. Every interpretation of all things goes through our internal breakdown of understanding whatever this something is.
