Light reflections.

Aside from the rare occasions we look at stained glass or into some source of direct light, all we see are reflections. We can only grow closer to truth by reflecting reality, so while we are saying “I see a blue bird.”, we should know that we are really saying “I see a bird whose feathers absorb all the colors that are not blue.” As we get into the habit of doing that, we understand that basic communication and its underlying reality are different.

Seeing a cornfield glistening in the sun should make us realize that we are seeing wavelengths, or particles, of light bouncing off countless, individual leaves as they move in the wind.

As we habitually try to make our words match what is happening, our mind begins to more closely examine how it fits into the world around it.

All we see is light. Our pupils restrict light when there is too much of it. They open to admit more light when there is too little of it. When we think about how much light the sun puts out, and how little of it is reflected into our own eyes, we can consider how much greater The Programmer is than we are.

The fact that He loves us enough to have asked His most obedient Son to die for us becomes all the more amazing.
