   Really?   
      
   What is the real pattern of Earth as it appears   
   to be a pale blue dot?   
      
   Does that dot orbit a yellow dot with north pointing up?   
      
   When the sun called the Sun rises, does it, really?   
   Is north really pointing up? Then why does the Sun rise?   
      
   Is a solid really solid? How solid is its real pattern   
   in the really real reality really?   
      
   How real are images printed in pixels, dots?   
   What perspective is the really real one and only one?

   What works, works.   
      
   A pattern to one form of Life differs   
   from that of some other form and to say Life   
   is that which forms all its forms, one may.   
      
   To some minds, gods exist and to sum God is.   
   They see the patterns and wonder how could any   
   doubt exist, it's so obvious, their real reality.
