The dilema with the eyes


I woke up again this morning. What a strange notion, in that before recently I have never slept before. I woke up and I had this strange feeling of being lost. This is not that strange in itself, since I frequently end up in places where I have no recollection of getting there. But this displacement is different. It is different in the sense that the place to which I am displaced is more specific, much smaller and much more contained. Human eyes seem to only see that far, and furthermore, there are many opaque obstacles, which hinders sight from relocating one self again.

In attempt to achieve some form of clarity, I drove up a tiny mountain to look down at the city of Pretoria. Seeing so many things and places simultaneously made me feel a bit more at ease, but the problem than arose in that distance seems to diminish detail. Hence the dilemma with the eye.

I drove down again into the city.
