.............it intrigues me how we can distort a scene that is actually real and create a different one altogether!
Perhaps that is how we generally live our lives - all seeing the same things but in different ways and never realising that 'our' reality isn't the same as the next persons !
A good example is something I read in a book by Ursula K LeGuin (and I'm not a si-fi fan) - called ' The Winds Twelve Quarters':- one of the short stories in this is called ' The Direction of the Road '
It took me a moment to realise what I was reading and it becomes clear that it is a story written from the perspective of a tree, growing at the side of a path/road. The tree is the reality and the creatures it comes across - animals, vehicles and humans are 'muses' to it's existence.
It isn't a serious story but it does make you think about your own reality in comparison to the bigger picture.
