Perception2

Perception2


Perception
of things.
What’s seen.
What’s heard.
Sense of
surrounding.
Brain/mind
interpretation.
What’s
perceived
as real.
What the
mind can
process.
Capabilities.
Limited
capabilities.
Brain power
limited.
Processing
power finite.
Sense
of reality
incomplete.
Cognition
based
on the
incomplete,
minuscule.
Missed.
More than
meets the
eye.
Unseen.
Unknown.
Surmising
with narrow
knowledge.
Looking
out.
Out
from the
terrarium.
Looking
out at the
infinite.
Perspective.
Pebble
in the
void.
All
that’s known
derived
on a
pebble.
Pebble
in the
limitless
void.

Most enjoyable John. I think we humans are at risk of missing the point of all this. Our heads have been turned for too long in the wrong direction. Making us as useful as that Ant Baker so brilliantly mentions. In fact the ant might have a better chance than us. We are self destructive and need to work together more. Rambling "sorry" your words got me thinking :) thank you for that

So true Gwen. We are so wrapped up in ourselves that all perspective is lost. Thank you for reading. JP

Hi MP,
I like Brian Cox. As you can probably tell by my work. I’m big into science and Sci-fi. Was a biology major in college back in the 70’s and been reading both sci-fi and science related stuff since the 60’s.
Offers much material to contemplate and write about. It’s fun letting the imagination run wild with this stuff. On the scale from zero to infinite knowledge we’ve barely moved beyond zero knowledge.
