dreaming

I don't think we can capture the nature of reality
in thought

this is not to say we dispense with reality

(our existence is its sharpest manifestation)

we need though to understand the limits of description

if you have ever experienced lucid dreaming you will
have a metaphor -

you know you are in the dreaming - and you know there
is a waking -

waking is just a fact - the limit of the experience
of dreaming

so too objectivity -

a logical fact

- the limit of the world

a primitive undefined horizon

and in terms of the way we operate as human beings -

it is entirely indispensable

and completely unknowable

it is a reaching towards

or

an ever presence never grasped
