Subtle rarity

The tenuity of the barrier between realities, taken in October 17, 2022.

A rare moment that challenged my sense of reality...
I thought it was a strange spider, completely motionless in the sway of a breeze, but as I got closer, after taking the photo I realized it wasn't a spider...but something strange 'suspended' ' in the air defying gravity, with no apparent support, it was simply there...it didn't look like anything that could be alive, but it was there...I spent a long time investigating the photo, and some time later when I came back to see what I couldn't define. ..it was still there.. motionless, dangling suspended in the air..
I sat down to observe... because neither the photo nor the situation seemed to be from this 'reality'... what is this?
Rare moment when we break logic in our minds and eyes!
Fantastic challenge for a photographer!!
And no matter how much I looked everywhere, I couldn't figure out how such a 'new reality' worked.
I let this 'matrix bug' continue whatever was happening and went back to my activities for the day.
Many hours later, at dusk, when the weather changes and a strong wind arrives, I go out into the garden and see 'the singularity' now in a strong and dynamic movement. It was then that I realized that a tiny thread, completely imperceptible in daylight, was now sparkling in the shadows of the approaching night...
I then realized that it was a small piece of foliage from my neighbor's tree, an Araucaria, which, dry and thorny, was stuck to some thin line of another plant that was lost in the heights of the treetops in the garden.
Even in daylight it was impossible to see, but in the contrast of the half-light of the evening it was apparent in the dance of the rising wind. Well... besides discovering that there is subtlety that our avid eyes cannot reach, movement is also necessary to show our presence, and just as not everything is visible in the light... depending on the nature of our presence, we need the contrast of Shadows to make a thread as white as the Light itself shine!
It's for moments like this that I love this poetry of shapes, lights and shadows, of concrete moments and those that challenge this concreteness in visions of unknown worlds, or faces that speak more than words, or of trips around the world and also those of worlds within of us...

I am this photo-poetry. Even without a camera at hands!
