Rain falls to the earth, onto the mountains and plains, hillsides, marshes and forests. It congregates in rivulets and streams, which flow together and accrue into rivers, which join whole systems of rivers as they flow toward the deltas and debouch into the lakes and oceans.
In the same way, we perceive the world. The chaos of the universe collides with our bodies; it moves into and around us in the particular shape and vector of whatever corner of reality we inhabit. The various ramifications of afferent nerve systems converge on our own ocean's worth of brain systems to deliver the alluvium of our senses to the breadth and depths of our minds.
But what does a fish swimming through the depths of the ocean ever really know about a mountainside?
