Fun And Rewarding

July 28, 2025



To perceive reality

On a molecular level

It strips everything

Of its everything-ness

With all the zipping about

Of protons and neutrons

Appearing as a mist

Of a grayish white light

Coming together in

Agreed to locations



To observe from knowing

That the atomic power

In each miniscule particle

Doing its proper thing of

Behaving like it is expected

Without wires or batteries



For example, one does not

Actually, knock on wood

For that is impossible

The molecules are

Everywhere all at once

Coalescing into what

Appears to be wood

The same goes for your

Hand, eyes, and ears

The chair and table

Which are all there as

You perceive them

Just not “really” there




Likewise, the knock is

Not really emitting a sound

It is all perception

To enhance experience

Such as fulfilling

The cliche that

Knocking on wood

Will ward off misfortune



There is no timber or tribulation

Save for ingrained indoctrinated

Perceptions that make it so




Unsure where chasing this

Elusive Bunny is off to

Going down the rabbit hole

Yet, this line of thinking

Is fun and rewarding




“I do not know

Where I am going

But I do know

I am moving forward. “

    That’s a mind bender… Now I’m walking around wondering (wandering too) how I don’t just fall through the ground. I always wanted to walk through walls. Maybe if I get my electrons to spin at the right time they could make that deal with the ones in the wall.

    You bring so much Wonder!

      I tried that once, not with a wall, but a closed door, having understood the concept. While it didn’t work in the physical material world, it worked metaphorically for passing through a door to get to the other side.
