We find ourselves in a world structured by matter and energy in space and time, and in that world each of us inhabits a body, one among many. At least, that is how we interpret our experiences.
But when we analyze our conviction of the reality of the material world, we find that it is all based on experiences, nothing else, nothing more real than that.
—Piet Hut
The Nature of Reality: Matter, Experience, Appearance, Presence
.
... late in this century and on a Wednesday morning,
bearing the mark of one who’s experienced
neither heaven nor hell,
my birthplace vanished, my citizenship earned,
in league with stones of the earth, I
enter, without retreat or help from history,
the days of no day, my earth
of no earth, I re-enter
the city in which I love you.
And I never believed that the multitude
of dreams and many words were vain.
—Li-Young Lee
