[/caption]Recently we decided to watch our Make-A-Wish video, which we do sporadically since the trip four years ago. Well, all the sudden, Ellie asked, astonished, "Who is that person?" she noticed that there was a woman actually holding up Zoe. It was the first time that she saw her, even though we have viewed the video countless times.

[/caption]It reminded me of a story about the first ship that came across the Atlantic Ocean. The native peoples living on the land could actually NOT see the ship. They saw nothing in the water, it was so far beyond their imagination. It was invisible to them.
Another story I read recently in The Art of Possibility by

Picasso is riding on a train and a fellow passenger asks him, why he won't paint more "realistically". The man shows Picasso a photo of his wife to illustrate what a "realistic" picture would look like. Picasso studies the photo and asked the man why his wife is so small and flat.

Made me wonder what possibilities are invisible to me.
Who was that woman holding up Zoe? She didn't have a gun did she?
