Invisible Changes

My bedroom has windows facing east and north. To the east are ancient volcanic hills; to the north Sedona’s famous red rock formations. My sight line is northeast, across a pond and beyond to Lee Mountain.

This view is my daily reminder of constancy and change. The hills are constant. But the position of the sun moves as the seasons change. And what causes this movement?

The rotation of the earth. I can’t see or feel the rotation, but I know it’s happening because of the changes I see through my windows.

Often, change is invisible. But if you look carefully, you see its result.
