Ways of seeing key notes

This reading starts by pointing out that seeing comes before words- the baby sees before it understands words. The reading explains how it is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world- we explain the world with words but words cannot undo the fact that we are surrounded by the world. We have knowledge such as the Earth turning away from the sun creating a sunset but the sight seems too surreal and the explanation doesn't quite fit the sight. The way we see things is affected by what we know and what we believe. It is also explained that we can't be fully covered from words whereas we only see what we look at , its our choice, and it is our take on what that sight is that can affect us.
