Some understanding can only be achieved via emotive experience of the whole.
O
Horizon separates earth and sky, shoreline divides land and sea, light differentiates night and day, the Manai’a individuates.
Some understanding can only be achieved via rational reductionism.
÷
The Manai’a has foot, fin, and feather to explore land, sea, and sky; heart to feel; and mind to deconstruct.

You can't do this with a point and shoot
Several years ago I went to a lecture and slideshow by a PhD zoologist and National Geographic Photographer. He was a very entertaining speaker and very excited about bugs. I don't recall his talk going into spiritual matters, but I suspect someone such as he - an explorer, full of wonder, actively seeking new experiences, in awe of everything - must have that non-rational numinous experiential gnostic thing going on. Or maybe I am projecting. It's good to pay attention to the small things right in front of you.
