re: anything necessary
everything necessary
a response to "anything necessary"
while walking home, i started mulling over many things that were brought up in class. the idea of watching multiple systems at the same time really intrigued me. then i started thinking in terms of myself as being a telescope or microscope. not so much in the sense that i actually have such abilities to see minute particles or celestial bodies with just my eyes (visual system), but that i can do so with my mind (a visual supersystem, perhaps?).
my eyes that night saw a flickering streetlamp. my mind, however, whether it was because of class or some unknown reason, "zoomed in" and the image of what the inside of the lamp might look like is what i was really seeing--the smaller parts of the flickering whole.
the smaller parts of the flickering whole: we blink and we miss things in life. when the sun sets, darkness ensues and we miss things we would otherwise be able to see in the daylight. at any given time, we are only looking in one direction and have a limited visual of life around us. we are constantly missing out on things. but the things we do take in, those are the smaller parts of life, the flickering whole.
oh, this is nothing new. oh, this is nothing profound.

the "flickering hole" makes me think of the shadows made by the displacement of the light. perhaps i will build on this also
