We live each day immersed in an ocean of light, A holographic field, if you will, of photons vibrating at every frequency imaginable, traveling in all directions until stopped and absorbed by some form of matter. Some of these photons happen to be moving along the correct vectors that bring them into our eyes, enabling us to see this world and all of it's loveliness.

Photons are fascinating "things"... 'wavicles...' perhaps a particle, perhaps a wave, it all depends upon how you, um, 'look' at them. The only way we make visual sense of our world is from the miniscule amount of photons that happen to be moving along the correct vector to pass through the lens & iris of our eye (given its motion) to impact upon our retina. If the photon happens to hit a rod or cone and it is vibrating at a frequency the rod or cone will react to, the rod or cone will initiate a neural signal to our the visual cortex of our brain. Our brain processes this stream of neural input. First it creates sense of the shape and form of what we are "seeing," processing shadow and light, matching primary imagery to remembered sequences. After shape and form, our brain processes the color information, illuminating our visual field and our perception of the world with the chromatic variations we have conditioned or trained ourselves to see.
