we stand in brilliant light
DESCRIPTION
The truth about what Earth is – what it’s made of, the universe in which it spins, the delicate balance that exists amongst its inhabitants – has increased over all our generations as we have learned more and more about it. Yet we are not satisfied for we do not know everything. In this moment, the light that is knowledge, surrounds us and yet evades us. So the quest continues...TRANSCRIPT

We stand in brilliant light.

Coveted by generations our memories have long forgotten, it collects and dances around us –

refracting into splendour
as it illumines places
once fit
![Page 4: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
only as the habitations of that great and fearsome
![Page 5: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
monster of our imaginings –
![Page 6: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
That Which is Not Known.
![Page 7: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Once mere slivers invading the darkness,
![Page 8: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
the light now cascades in sheets
of glory over the wide
expanse of the natural world,
![Page 9: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
stretching
our understanding
in equal measure
![Page 10: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
by “too big”
![Page 11: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
and “too small” to see.
![Page 12: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Yet even showers of this unprecedented radiance
![Page 13: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
cannot conquer the
unruly beast of the unknown.
![Page 14: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tethered to the confines of our own realities,
![Page 15: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
we cannot rule what we do not know nor can we let it be.
![Page 16: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So we poke and prod and posit our way

![Page 18: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
that we – our memory
long forgotten –
![Page 19: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
might be the source of even a single shimmer
![Page 20: We stand in brilliant light](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c2b4644a795998098b4585/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
of the brilliant light in which they’ll stand.
