Only if you think in three dimensions.
ReplyDeleteAdd a fourth and fly high above and below the fog before it formed and after it dispersed.
Add seven more and watch it curl up while space and time dance to totally different music played by strings...
Never believe you can determine the depth by only insufficiently investigating the surface.
ReplyDeleteAlthough something are deceiving--sometimes, when the fog clears, the entire picture can change, dramatically.
ReplyDeleteI'm too foggy headed to think about this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat you see is what you get...hopefully I got this right. Correct me if I'm wrong. Sometimes, that's not always the case though. I've scratch surfaces before and found some surprising discoveries, sometimes, good and sometimes not.
ReplyDeleteTypically nothing is ever only skin deep.
ReplyDelete"A river is a river, a mountain is a mountain, fog is fog." Habitual thinking going on here. The word "fog" misled you. I had a feeling this one would be seen as a surface vs depth analogy, which it is not. But, of course, that's the fun of aphorisms. Everyone has their own interpretation. A kind of Rorschach test.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the clarification NP. It certainly got my cogs working. lol
ReplyDeleteSooo, in my first sentence of explanation, I was kind of right. Well, I think so.
Sometimes you can't get beyond the appearance to discover the "real" thing beneath because the surface is the reality, I'd say...
ReplyDeleteOr, fog as veil. You only think that fog is veiling a reality beyond, but if you penetrate its depths you don't find more landscape. You find more fog.
Anyhow, my two cents' worth.
wonderful .. simply wonderful
