Sight

I can’t see this ...

Telophase HeLa (cancer) cells expressing Aurora B-EGFP (green) (100x)

  or these

Zebrafish olfactory bulbs (250x)

or this

Soap Film

with only eyes...

Hexanitrodiphenylamine high-explosive crystals (35x)

  All there……..waiting to be seen

Given the right tools, I can, past the veil of my seemingly limited sight

 sit in awestruck wonder, simply delight.

The right tools bring the far-off

Spicules: Jets on the Sun

just a little closer

The Necklace Nebula

into view

Comet Hartley 2 Flyby

Seeing prompts me to choose the right words to name what I see, what I experience. 

Given the right word I better understand and now possess a way to share. 

My love of the unseen world was feed by a loving dad who gave a microscope as a Christmas gift one year. Before that he made sure we stayed up on a hot July night to watch as men walked, leapt on the moon. He delights in the world...and in its people... in his daughters. And in his delight, he shares. His delight becomes tangible as I received his gifts, ...and his delight grows as I share those with others. 

Seeing the unseen helps me to perceive the seen with eyes now tuned to wonder.

It’s there, I just need the right tools, understanding to see it

And so with my soul

Tools...rather gifts from the Father; fasting, communion, prayer, meditation, the Word, confession, fellowship with the body of Christ….

all used by the hand of the Holy Spirit 

to teach me to see, to understand, to share

All used to restore in me
the image of Christ
I am to embody the unseen

love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control
