Deceptive grace.
Deceptive grace.
Thinking about a new post, I was sifting through my photo archive, searching for a clue to an important meaning, or an idea that isn't just sitting there waiting for me to reach out to it, lol.
Sometimes, you need to enter a dark room and feel your way around, and that's what happened today.
And so, stumbling over some invisible obstacles, I finally caught the idea by the tail, trying to slip past and remain unnoticed. This idea's name is grace, or rather, its other side, which can be deceptive.
Yes, precisely what isn't true, although we call it grace.
And grace is usually associated with complete calm and self-confidence.
But that's not usually the case.
So, with my head up in the sky, I sometimes watch a biplane soaring through the clouds, its movements seemingly graceful.
But if you've ever flown on a biplane like me, you know that air pockets prevent the person sitting in such a plane from even thinking about the gracefulness of flight (lol), but what they see below them, for example, the city lights and headlights on the roads, they look graceful when viewed from the biplane's window.
At the same time, there's actually no grace there either, because traffic jams and nervous drivers have nothing to do with grace.
Knowing the character of many fish firsthand, I would say that the fish gracefully floating in the water are not, in fact, calm creatures, but rather a shell of compressed springs, ready at any moment to react to an external stimulus or a smaller fish swimming past, even if the fish is not predatory.
The grace of antelopes in the savannah, passing lions or crocodiles, or the grace of a cat that has spotted a dog, is simply an attempt to avoid escalating the situation, in the hope that the predatory opponent is busy with other matters and should not be attracted by fussing.
Zoom in on a photo for a closer view.
More to come!
Enjoy viewing the photos and reading the article!
Have a blessed day!
