Don't Blink

Superbowl. Super Tuesday. Fat Tuesday. There's nothing more I can add to what's already been said elsewhere.

My friend Bill sent me a link to this video for the "Color Changing Card Trick." Watch carefully and see if you can figure the trick out.

There's much that we see and much that we think we see, but there's even more that we miss. We see smoke on the other side of the mountain, but don't realize there's fire. We see high beams coming around a curve, but miss the car in the road. We hear the thunder, but ignore the rainstorm.

On the color changing card trick, did you see the gorilla? Tell me, where is Bodhidharma right now? You've stumbled past him without even realizing it.
