I wonder what the relationship may be
between invisibility and transparency.
I talked to a woman on the phone last
year who left me the impression of being
transparent, not in the sense that I could
see through her ruses and spot her intentions
at their core, but in the sense that she had
no ruses, no agenda, and was merely living
life as it determined to live itself through
her. Does that make sense?
It was in the context of interviewing
people about new jobs they'd taken on.
Except for the one person above, everyone
else had an ego stake in the proceedings.
They reveled in their success or quaked
in the prospect of failure. Their egos
were tangible, opaque objects. This one
person, though, whose name was Angela,
perhaps appropriately ("Angel"), didn't
seem to have an agenda. She lacked an
opaque ego to block the light. She was
doing her work and being supported by
all around her, and marveling at the process.
