The point here being if you are not amazed by ‘ordinary things’, you do not understand them; they’re all extraordinary. Shown in different aspect ratios, below. Sorry about that. Click on the resize button, bottom right, and the ratio will be rectified.

Note on Indonesian shadow puppets: wayang kulit (literally "shadow" + "skin/leather"), probably the most famous tradition, especially on Java and Bali. The puppets are intricately cut from buffalo hide, and performances often run all night, drawing on the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Note on the right-hand clip: the music is Handel, Messiah (1741). The text comes from 1 Peter 1:24, itself quoting Isaiah 40:6. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. Isiah: The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
