This "collapsing" of reality is something I've been attuning to more and more in my direct experience. Not to get out over my skis, I don't think I am, but striking how this accords with quantum superposition -- everything, everywhere all at once, collapsed by observation.

If I start talking about how what I'm pointing has parallels to what we know from quantum physics (which I realize it may), I am definitely getting out over my own skis :-).

Honestly, I would not have mentioned it if I had not heard Angelo Dillulo say something similar.

Given the indescribable nature of reality it must be an enormous challenge to write about it. Writers must feel so torn… that said so do readers like me yet I appreciate you sharing the inspiration, thanks, joe x

Thanks, Joe. No question, it's a challenge to write and communicate about this stuff. And yet, somehow, I enjoy the impossibility immensely. :-)

I see you're a musician. Words about "just this" arise and pass away just like anything else.

Yes, I love making music about This too :-). You can find my stuff on Spotify if you're curious.

Beautiful John. Many thanks. It’s a felt experience I had with your words, the video. A dream nested within a dream, and so on.
