The true nature of the world is veiled, and if
you shine a bright light on it, you can't expose that truth; it melts away with
the shadows in which it was cloaked. The
truth is too awesome for us to stare directly at it, and we are meant to
glimpse it only at the periphery of our vision.
If the landscape of your mind is too dark with fear or doubt or anger,
you are blind to all truth. But if your
mental landscape is too bright with certitude and arrogance, you are snow-blind
and likewise unable to see what lies before you. Only the moonlit mind allows wonder, and it
is in the thrall of wonder that you can see the intricate weave of the world of
which you are but one thread, one fantastic and essential thread. Dean Koontz, The Moonlit Mind
Oh, that's beautiful... the moonlit mind.
