Theory helps our minds to see.
There’s order in the air.
In the sky objectively
Birds are flying there.
Blue is everywhere.

I wonder if we can see objectively… but we are sensitive to blue.

It occurred to me after writing the poem that the sky looks more green than blue in the image, but I like blue as well. Thanks, Kim!

I thought it was intentional that you drew attention to the fact that the sky is usually blue…in reality.

It was intentional. The reality is the event of seeing a blue sky. It is an abstraction to separate the event of seeing into an objective and subjective part if I understand Whitehead’s position on process which I might not. Thanks, Jane!
