Seeing things in unhabitual ways.
"They knew, for their own good reasons, what the world was like, and their experience acted as a filter through which any new message was tested, confirmed, rejected, challenged, and reinterpreted. Changing their minds would have meant changing the world they experienced, not simply convincing them of a new set of ideals around equality of opportunity and the desirability of a different world." - Kessler, Ashenden, Connell and Dowsett (1985)
What a fascinating blog! I happened across it, just as I have happened across a great many adventures and I am glad for having done so. Your opinions are like a breath of fresh air piercing the stale winds of the internet! Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the great chalk wall of remembrance that sprang into being after Jack's untimely death. However, I am sure that the spirit your photos capture would warm his heart and bring great joy to his ether, wherever it may be. I think that your pursuit for your own identity is a noble one. Are we not all fated to a similar quest? Your opinions are incisive, your prose poignant and eye for detail unmistakable! What a great find!
