Perception

per·cep·tion

: immediate or intuitive recognition; 
 
: the state of being or process of becoming aware of something through the senses;

: understanding; comprehension.

How we see and what we feel about the world around us is not always black and white. It can be colored by our personal experiences, by what others want us to feel, or by how something is presented to us. 
 
It's up to us to become aware, to look deeper, and to use our senses in a way that helps us experience life.


The world is full of magic things, 
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” 
– W.B. Yeats

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” 
– John Lubbock

One person's craziness is another person's reality.”  
― Tim Burton
