Insofar as anything appears to us, it radiates itself.
Insofar as it radiates itself, it is light.
Insofar as it is light, it is the glory and beauty of God.
We need to wear dark glasses all the time so as not to be blinded by the light that blazes from everything.
Dark glasses, or eyes as bright as the world around us.
(Inspired by the closing section of Gadamer’s Truth and Method (Continuum Impacts) 
).
