Perceptions

If you look too closely at something, you will most probably lose faith. And trust. Faith in the object you look at, trust in your sight. Things look much better from a distance, behind a camera, through veils.

When you are in the scene, you are in it... there is no perspective other than the one single view you get when looking at it from one direction. And things are never pretty enough to stare at from one point up close. Also get too close to something, you can't really breathe. Then comes the lightheadedness, and incoherent thoughts.

So you need to move a little farther away. A lot further away and the thing you're looking at disappears. But if you were already too close, then disappearing is what you may need to do, a different scene is perhaps for the best.

Then maybe in the future, there is the possibility of a fond memory with the loss of proximity.

There is also the fear of an empty space, or a replacement when you return. And when you return, you may find that there is no longer a place for you in the space that you once loved.

You have moved too far away for far too long.
