In even the most mundane of our daily activities we are asked to suspend belief and accept the tug of war between illusion and reality. Even those with their feet firmly planted in "their reality" can be fooled.....or are they?
Under the veil, behind the curtain, beneath the restaurant floor boards, will reveal the truest nature of a moment. But will it?
If our lives expand beyond the dimensional.....why do we put so much faith in what we experience with our senses, and not that which comes to us in less obvious ways. Is the spirit world only available to each of us individually, and by it's very nature is unexplainable to others, much less proven?

It was not his.There, shimmering in the clear sunlit waters was the smiling, laughing face of his now gone friend....as if having just played a little joke on him from afar.....the far that death, he thought, demanded But yet he was right there.....for almost a minute.
Later he sensed the disbelief surfacing. Did that happen or not? Will he always hold reality up to the lens of others, or believe in a rare but real glimpse beyond the explainable.
Use your imagination, and your soul will expand.
