Metamorphosis

by Red Komar · Acre, IL

An extraordinary metamorphosis of the imperceptible world into a familiar image for the human eye occurs. Or rather, familiar to the human consciousness. Our brain doesn't always correctly recognize what our eyes see. Moreover, this happens on such a subconscious level that humanity, forever preoccupied and rushing to live this life, remains unaware. It doesn't suspect that our brain substitutes reality. We interpret absolutely everything in a way that is easier for us to perceive. Does anyone know what truly surrounds us? Without the clever veil of our consciousness, which masks everything into a simplified standard picture, we cannot interact with the "real reality." This distortion exists alongside us. Look at the droplets of dew sliding on the petals of a beautiful flower onto the blanket of soft grass. Do you see it? Well, it sees and perceives us too.
