We go about our day and make subconscious pacts with others ~ I will play this particular role in your drama if you play this role in mine. Then we conjure up our desires and experience the results, for better or worse. And we curse god or fate, while deep in our minds we are busy creating our own stories....

​

And then there are times when we can experience certain ‘shifts' in reality ~ moments that come without warning or reason, somehow altering an entire scene without changing a thing ~ like a color filter moving over the eyes, a trick of the light perhaps, or a change in mood, a déjà vu, or sudden knowing. But like a haze, such moments soon evaporate, and we continue onward as we had before.

Some people might label such experiences as mental aberrations to be rationalized away, to be fixed or stabilized. But for now, let’s entertain the notion that these shifts are mere glimpses into something else, something beyond the very involved cinematic dream we call life, experienced through the filters of our sensory perceptions.
