Opposites

by Clara Mae Gregory

When she looks at green
She sees blue.
When I view the same thing,
I read orange.

I like how this deals with perception(s). I've often wondered when I look at another person if someone else sees exactly the same face.

Have you met my husband. He always says: I talk blue- he sees green, etc. Needless to say, I loved it.

I do believe our perception of reality varies with our background, our education, our general life experience, etc. That is not saying that any one is more appropriate than any other. They are just different and add the the difficulty of human communication. This is a very nice write!!
