Back then, I was a naive little fool. A child at heart and in body. Didn’t know when time started and the clock moved. I had a dream and it went on for days. There were no ends and no ends to meet. I would look back at the stars and the stars looked back at me. It was a constant unending love that I made to the mise en scène. And there were no orgasms to be reached.

I was an alchemist in a world of full of unfolding shells. Nothing was elusive. Nothing was exclusive. The rock made its motion and the kitten trusted her scowl. Sweeping leaves were knives cutting through the wind demons. The rat wanted to play hide and seek with me. And you know how it is. They reached out to me and I reached out to them. Ah! and the rainy days...

As I grew in body and in mind, I found myself - my selfishness. I got to know what I wanted and what I disliked. I could hate and I could berate. I was important and I wanted importance. I held in my mind the power of suspicion, from which I could delve into yours. I learned maths so I could calculate. I knew science so I could conceptulate. I read history so I could pontificate. The world was in my mind. I stopped seeing and started thinking.

I was now a thinking man and I thought. Day in and day out. At the table and on the pot. Holding your hand and holding the gear. I held those books in my hand and I felt like a man. I walked that path and I felt like a God. I had now tasted and tested. They held my fancy but only for a while. And for a while only could I let you know what I mean and what I could see.

And then, one breezy, rustling yet calm morning, I had a eureka moment. I knew this was it. Yup, ladies and gentlemen, it is all about albedo, yours and mine. We all can only shine in the light that we diffusely reflect from the world. And as the world does not spread the light in equal measures and from the same angles, therefore we each have our own albedo. And it is also a variable for each one of us individually in different phases of our lives. It can be calculated as the ratio between the light we reflect and the light we receive. Its range starts from 0 and ends before 1, as we can only diffusely reflect the light we receive.
