Waves and Particles

I am experiencing sadness at the moment. I would like to stop using language that has me identify as the emotion. I am not sad. I am a person. I am a person experiencing sadness. It is a wave passing through me.

Waves are something I think about alot. Light waves, Radio waves, waves of emotion, waves in water. Our world naturally creates them. The ups and downs of life. Life is a wave itself. Riding a wave and not trying to stop it is a lesson I’m still trying to perfect. There is no stoping a wave. It will simply break around you and keep going. And in trying to stop it there is the potential to drown in it.

When I think of waves I also think of particles. In Physics there was an experiment called the double split experiment. It proved that light is both a particle and a wave depending on many factors (one of them being if its being observed or not) For me this goes to show how little we truly understand about the universe. Light is how we experience the uninverse. It bounces off objects and into our eyes and our brains take that information and generate and image that we can understand. Light creates our realty but light can so easily be manipulated to shift and change. Depending on fabrics or materials, if it’s moving through an object or bouncing off something shiny. And when you look at something long enough or far away enought, our brain can shift the information, twist it and change it.

Reality is so delicate. So personal. It is something that happens to us but also through us. and if we do not drown in the wave of light, maybe we can float on top of it and move through it in a way that feels like we are in control. Maybe we are particles but in the right circumstances we can become one with the wave. Maybe we are light.
