I just looked out of my living room window and saw a host of
midges dancing frantically in the light of the westering sun. I wondered, as I
always do when greeted with such a sight, whether the midges I can see are the
only midges in that location, or whether there are countless other midges – either dancing
or not – which I can’t see simply because they’re not being caught in a shaft
of sunlight. In other words, do midges only dance when the sun is shining on them?
Maybe someone who knows about midges and their mindset might enlighten me.
This is the kind of thing which matters to me when I can put aside issues like
health problems and the parlous state of the human condition for a moment.
