I'm fascinated and not a bit touched by the fact that your line of thought in regards to a failure of recognition led to an appreciation of what can't be recognized rather than the dismissal of it. I suspect I'll be looking closer at the fall of light for a while, as well.
... absolutely every single one of you is beautiful when you smile. I'd sing this from the rooftops. In fact, it's one of the most-repeated sentiments in my fiction with regards to beauty. Given motivation I can recognize faces well enough, but I tend to fail to look at all; a smile is one of the few things that will prompt me to register another person at all.
