This Reminded Me So Much

of those old time cartoons on TV where a villain paints a tunnel entrance on a wall, but then a car comes speeding along and goes right through -- but when the perplexed villain tries the same thing they crash against the wall and end up flattened.

Another Amazing Discovery

A patch of diffuse sunlight on the sidewalk, streaming down through some leaves ...

Turned out to be spray paint.

A violin hanging on a wall, seen through a crack in the door.

Open the door all the way, and the violin is a painting on the wall.

Art -- a bridge between realities.

Something wonderful happens to one in a dream, or one conceives a great notion while in a drugged or drunken stupor...

Waking up to find it was all just a beautiful illusion. Or rather a different kind of reality -- the kind that cannot stand to be examined in the cold hard light of rational scrutiny.

A bridge between realities.

A child cuts the bottom of a cardboard box down the middle, draws handles on the two halves and pretends the box is a cabinet that holds mysteries; once the doors are pulled open, he would be admitted to a whole other world. To him it's as real as report cards, and a darn sight more fascinating.

A child may grow up, but not necessarily out.
