A blue never seen before

 

The sky -above clouds- is always blue. Have you ever asked yourself why it is always so blue, why this blue never fade ? At every moment the sun throws light to the earth and the result in the atmosphere is this blue color. This physical phenomenon is always new. This blue color is always new. When you look at the sky, the blue you see has never been seen before in the past, because it is absolutely new, absolutely fresh. In fact, all color you see has never been seen before, because it is always physically new. There are no old colors. We may generalize : every physical object has never been seen before, because it is always physically new. Our earth offers an incessant physical freshness. Go outside and look at whatever object : look at it at close range : you will see what Huxley called the intensity of existence which animates every object when seen at close range and out of its utilitarian context (Heaven and Hell). What is this intensity of existence ? From what does it proceed ? There is intensity because there is physical activity. All object is a piece of energy -of active energy. Activity, and so change, modification, newness, freshness.

So Walt Whitman was right when he wrote (probably influenced by Emerson, whose works, -not only his essays, Self-Reliance, Compensation, Circles, Works and Days, etc, but also his sermons, poems (cf To-day), journal, lectures, addresses and letters, are a celebration of ''the New'' ) : 

 

I have heard what the talkers were talking,

the talk of the beginning and the end.

But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.

There was never any more inception than there is now.

(Song of Myself, 3)

Emerson, in his journal (July, 1841, JMN, vol 7, p 457) : Ever and forever Heraclitus is justified who called the world an eternal inchoation.

Every moment is a beginning (or inception or inchoation, synonyms) and so as important and as beautiful as any moment in the past, and should be considered as a revelation. At every moment, the world we see has never been seen before. Nature has never been newer than it is now.
