The seen and the unseen.
Both exist.
Sometimes looking carefully helps. Other times, there simply is no seeing. You may have other ways of knowing. But not seeing.
Oxygen, for one.
But there are so many more. Millions more.
We live in a big, big place. With a multitude of smalls.
If this seems vague, or cryptic. It is.
Because our lives are built on the unknown. Each moment.
And this is what happens to me….. ….. when Mary & I go out for Chinese Food for dinner.
