An entire lifetime can slip by without seeing what this short musing reveals

This is not blue (Ceci n’est pas bleu).

You look up

A gazillion photons play with your eyes and you say simply blue.

A neat trick, bundling so much into one concept!

But just because your imagination is amazing doesn’t mean that blue exists beyond it.

Your imagination isn’t the Creator of blue. Blue is just that, unreal imagination.

You didn’t con-ceive reality. Your “bundle” is not reality.

To see reality

You must un-ceive it. “Unbundle” it. (Spoiler: it’s called enlightenment.)

And the real kicker?

No one has ever conceived anything real.

It was all imagined!

Just like blue.
