When life regains its capacity for contemplation, it gains in time and space, in duration and vastness…What is necessary is a revitalization of the vita contemplativa, because it opens up spaces for breathing. Perhaps the mind itself owes its emergence to an excess of time, an otium, even to a slowness of breath. A reinterpretation of pneuma, which means breath as well as spirit, is conceivable.
-Byung-Chul Han, The Scent of Time
Those granted the gift of seeing more deeply can see beyond form, and concentrate on the wondrous aspect behind every form, which is called life.
