Looking from a certain perspective, the physical aspects of things, planets, stars, atmospheres, anything that can be measured or quantified is simply superficial and misses the meaning of their interaction. Its like naming the characters in a story without understanding that their dialogue reveals how they feel and why they do what they do. Its only the roster of items, not a comprehension of who they really are.
From a different perspective, it seems completely ludicrous to found any perception upon anything other than the physical. We see and touch it, therefore its real, right?
Its a choice. You build the fence and you hold it up. You can let the physical be a starting point, an arena, a guide. Or you can make it the only dimension, based on your choice.
I see it as an scene of interaction. It is a symbolic stage. Everything we do and see signifies a thought. We are the characters writing the novel.
Briefly, I want to be joy. I want to invent a pancake that tastes as good on wednesdays as it does on sundays, and then bring it to bus stops and distribute it to the patrons of the city. I want to feel the softest grass in the park and know that I did my homework correctly and blew my teacher away with my closing paragraph. I want to see the planets from my airplane window and know that I'll get home okay.
