Hi BV,
it is funny isn't it.

Once you step a few yards outside the whitey's world, how pespectives change.

I have been lucky twice in my life at a young age, to actually see myself through the eyes of another race. Albeit only for a few seconds, but each instance altered my outlook forever, even though it was only for a few seconds each time. Not only that, it was more than forty years ago, but remains as vivid in my memory, as if it happened yesterday.

Parallel universes indeed, (Quantum Physics there). We have parallel worlds on this very planet. I am sure you read my posting, about time. Well PNG finally warped that concept forever. My hold on the western concept of time, was always very tenuous to start with. Whem I was a child, and could happily live in a fantasy world, I actually invented my own time. I lived in "normal" time during school hours, and my own outside of them. It was fun. One could step back, and see oneself operating in both.

Life was meant to be funny......Ralph.
