"With sophisticated technology, we strive to see what is beyond us but are often blind to the myriadsparkling facets that lie so close at hand. We think we're seeing when we've only scratched the surface. Our acuity at this middle scale seems diminished, not by any failing of the eyes, but by the willingness of the mind...Attentiveness alone can rival the most powerful magnifying lens."
