A parable
When I was vacationing at Tybee Island a few years ago, I set my alarm very early and went out to sit on the beach to watch the sun come up. I didn't take a lawn-chair or a blanket, so I had to sit down in the sand.
There was virtually no light at that time in the morning and suddenly I became very afraid of the critters running around in the sand. Every "blob" in the darkness became a potential crotch-biting crab. For about 20 minutes I was clenched in fear as my eyes darted back and forth in the darkness.
Then the sun came up. Light sprayed across the beach. And...
...there were no crabs. Or critters. Or anything. Just rocks. All those blobs were just rocks. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Dear Sun: Go ahead and turn the light back off, it's fine. I can't be fooled again. Even in the dark I know it's just rocks.
My God, these eyes are starting to open...

Your opening eyes are our opening eyes... together we observe there is a seer, smiling with joy at the silliness and beauty of it all!
Silliness... haha, yes.
The Game can be tragic and horrifying at times, but it is playful and marvelous.
It's just rocks...
...and it just rocks!
