So as anyone who reads this knows, I tend to have random observations, and more often than not they relate to my general disillusionment with our society. Usually, at least in my mind, based on the lack of love, or "unlove," as I like to call it. But I spend a large portion of my day realizing things, when I am working, relaxing, playing, driving, eating, and sometimes even sleeping. Sometimes I remember these things, but more often than not I forget them, as new things pop into my head, and others just take precedence. Although it may seem that I see things very negatively that is not the case. Even the things that I am upset about, I feel can be changed, if only we want to work on it. However, there are a lot of things that I notice that are pure good. Many of them can be seen in my flickr photostream.

Today I found something interesting, and in my opinion beautiful. I was driving and was realizing how complex our eyes are. I mean, I had heard the anatomy of the eye many times. I have heard what it is capable of, and how powerful it is, but it actually hit me while driving. When I realized how much like a camera my eye is. It has a lens, must focus, has a diaphragm for aperture, etc. However, it is entirely biological. How much work goes into each scene that I observe. Looking around my room I see color, distance, shape, size, texture, symbols and much more.

I realize how much beauty surrounds me, and how fortunate I am to see these things. Life has many gifts, and sight is one of them.
