The map is not the territory

 



I've been thinking: while fascination for the sublime, the abstract and the romantic (in the widest sense of the word) makes for a rich and exhilarating inner life, an insane superpower to cultivate would be to experience the thing itself, so to speak, and not feel like it pales miserably in comparison to all the heady stuff.


For a start, it must be nice to be picking up groceries and for the mind to not immediately go to, 'okay so what is all this about anyway?'
