The term

What meets the eye

could be used to show a rather interesting aspect of our being: A meeting means that both parties make an effort. If it only would be to open the door, having time. There is an effort on both sides. So it is with using our eyes. Specially with our visual sense we give in to the illusion that it would record objectively what is around us. We ignore the fact that it is only a 2degrees wide cone that we can see non blurry. When a magician has skillfully guided it away from where he does the thing we are not supposed to see we are convinced that he did invisible things. He did not, he just made us look elsewhere.

There is allot of beauty in the world that we can see when we reflect on how we use our eyes and give us the time to do so differently.
