Ghost Yard

Posted by Paul Ricciardi (Rock Hill, United States) on 16 December 2006 in Abstract & Conceptual.

Sometimes I question reality, but I never challenge the validity or power that dreams hold.

There is, in my opinion, an element of otherworldliness in even the most everyday and banal of settings. Every landscape hides a dreamscape, every city tucks away an intimate, personal land of dreams. There is a sense of surreality to every piece of reality that we taste, it is simply up to us to learn to let the reality melt in our mouths so we can get to that which it coats.

Or, we can simply learn to view the world through a different set of eyes.
Sometimes the blind men see best; if one is not blinded by preconceived notions of reality and truth, one is free to create, feel, and, most importantly, allow his mind to wander and shatter the feters society imposes.

Philosophy with Paul. Or, more simply, Paul letting the world into his head for a moment.
