In practice, though, there’s a lot more going on as I stand on the street and stare skyward. Dozens of neatly arranged windows look down from above, each one concealing an individual story, or person, or family.
Entire narratives play out behind single panes of glass. And depending on the weather or time of day or even our own mood, we might catch occasional glimpses of them from the outside.
But even then, there’s virtually no way for anyone standing on the outside to ever truly know what’s going on on the inside, to ever appreciate the subtle nuances of a life when all we get are brief glances before the shades get drawn.
I feel so small down here, pondering the invisible lives secretly playing out high above. I feel so naive thinking it’s the glass that keeps us from learning more.
