Life’s numb without astonishments. Things are reduced to only what they appear and when the appearance is known the senses shut the doors to perceive anything more. But something new in the old surprises and asks to look more – perhaps the eye of a crow which was unseen or the storms of Jupiter. The unknown astonishes and induces questions. The questions provide a reason, without which a human mind refuses to accept. It is fundamental to human existence. But the irony between acceptance and asking makes it even more beautiful. Throughout human evolution it is the urge of question that has lead through developments and changes, and not the answer. The answer is an absolution, a full stop mark to a sentence.
Then again, it is perception. A full stop mark can lead to the beginning of another sentence. It is a choice. Then all bottoms down to the vulnerability of senses – how open they are to astonishments.
There’s an astonishing element in everything known, that asks to question.
