Looking for the light

K, it's dark in here, and obviously I have not yet been able to put my finger on that which I'm trying to reveal. Thinking is so quick to label something that has not yet been seen, or described or experienced. It's not a "thing." I've never seen one, but I know what it does, it retreats before you turning possibility into actuality. It's the opposite of the point of light on a darkening black and white TV screen (to fish for a weak first metaphor). There was a black and white TV in the house when I was young, and I recall focussing on that point of light as the TV tube cooled. The whole image was there in that tiny point of light, it was still moving. Then it would simply disappear. Now, if your mind was that point of light, and if you can shift your point of view from the kid looking at the light to the light looking at the kid, I think we can soon begin to have a discussion.

However, I'm pretty sure we have to let that simmer. Back in a while.
