I can't *see* them because they are taking place on sub-light wavelength
scales, perhaps even sub-Planckian scales. If you want people to see
you moving, you need to scale your efforts to the resolution of their senses!
And also -- Brownian motion doesn't count -- it averages out in the long
run.

had forgotten. When that starts to happen you know you have lived
a full life.
