horizon & limits

in langkawi, i stared out at the sea one afternoon while he was napping by my side. the horizon, the point where heaven and earth meets. where the sky and water touches. where the limit is.

it suddenly struck me. it is only an illusion. the horizon is merely something us human conjures up. it does not exist, you cannot reach it, you cannot touch it. it is only in my head.

as illusionary as it being the edge of the earth, that should one sail there they would fall off the edge of earth. but did we really fall off the edge of earth? evidently no. so why do we humans still like to self-impose limits, even though it is only all in our heads.
