Perception Must Be a Hall of Mirrors...

As I was washing my hands in the kitchen sink, I noticed my cactus plant up on the sill and thought, “What happened? You were so bright, so alive, a tiny field flowering crimson atop your rugged head. Your only companion, a glistening stalk of crisp clean green shadowing waves of soft mauve like vines dressing him up for the sky’s deep gaze.

It was at the moment the scene was most clear to me that I recalled the “real” cactus. It was only in my “dreams” that she was LIVING…

The “dream” is a projection of the “reality,” and the “reality” a projection of the “dream.” It was in the moment of the dream’s clarity that the dream was shattered, becoming a new “reality”…I wonder, will clarity of the new reality make it shatter to a dream, transporting me once again into a new reality…and so on?

Perception must be a hall of mirrors…
