I’m wearing glasses. Most of the time, I don’t see them. I see through them. And that’s the strange thing: the glasses give me the world by disappearing. If I focus on the glasses, I lose the world. If I receive the world, the glasses withdraw. And I think this is not just about glasses. It’s something about what a person is. A person can become the place where the world shines through. And this is where vulnerability is different from exposure. Exposure is when something punctures me, assaults me, makes me visible when I’m not ready. Vulnerability is different. Vulnerability is my own translucency. It’s my willingness to become see-through enough that the world, or another person, or beauty, can appear through me. So maybe a person is not first an individual thing. Maybe a person is the site where the world appears once, uniquely.
