Reality comes with implied quotation marks attached.
We impose our interpretation/understanding/bias/presumption/etc.
upon everything we look at and "see" what we think is there.

We cannot help it.
We cannot do anything about it.
Projection is what we DO!

If you don't think so, tell me this.
How much of what you see do you think
is the way things are?

Where do you think you get that idea?

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
