The inspiration for this digital painting is Carlos Castaneda’s “A Seperate Reality.” At one point in the book, Carlos finds himself puzzled by a series of maneuvers of the shaman Don Genaro that he has difficulty understanding. Don Juan responds to the confusion declaring:
“‘You think everything in the world is simple to understand,’ he said, ‘because everything you do is a routine that is simple to understand. At the waterfall, when you looked at Genaro moving across the water, you believed that he was a master of somersaults, because somersaults was all you could think about. And that’s all you will ever believe he did. . . . Pablito saw nearly all of Genaro’s movements. Nestor, on the other hand, saw only the most obvious maneuvers. He missed the delicate details. But you, you saw nothing at all.’”
I am curious to know what you have seen here today as well.
