Equation no 1
sometimes it can seem that we are invisible though standing amidst a crowd. nobody really sees me. nobody really hears my voice.
everything in life has a certain capacity for absorption. stand next to a passing train and scream and no one will hear you. it doesn't mean you aren't screaming.
when i lived in a tent i was woken up one morning by a Great Horned Owl's hooting. i wanted to see him and so as carefully and quietly as i could unzipped my door and peaked out. no human would have seen or heard me. but to him my movements were like a train passing by. of him all i saw was a black form take flight and disappear in the inky black of the trees with a whisper of wings. yet even such a tiny perception of him was delightful.
as things have a capacity to absorb so to do they have a capacity to sense.
EXPERIMENT:
put a glass on a rigid surface (table or counter), stand a few feet a way and tap your foot (not even a tap but a touch, barely perceptible). if you get it just right you will see the "shockwave" pass over the surface of the water no matter how light the contact.
when you move or speak or even breath the entire world feels it whether it knows it or not.
EQUATION:
movement - absorption / capacity to sense = touch
our bodies then are capacitors absorbing the movements of everything around us and we burn with the friction of it. we are all on fire. can you feel it?
