Summary

This quote by William Blake suggests that our perceptions of the world are limited and distorted by our own preconceived notions and prejudices. If we could cleanse our perceptions, we would be able to see the true essence and boundlessness of everything around us. However, humanity has confined itself within narrow perspectives, only seeing glimpses of the reality that lies beyond. It implies that to truly understand the world and grasp its infinite nature, one must liberate their mind from these limitations and approach things with an open and unbiased mindset.

I've remembered that most of life is about small, essential connections, so unobtrusive, so elastic, that you scarcely realize they're actually holding you together. The big ones-the great, grand emotional bonds-those are the ones that break, the ones that fail you, the ones that give way and send you careening toward the foot of the bleak and jagged canyon. It's the tough, gnarled, unadorned ties that really do bind, that never let you fall all the way down into darkness.
