Fractured Realms

The world is never quite as it seems; full of infinite contradictions and things just beyond the realm of understanding for many of us. Often, we try to disregard what we cannot comprehend, choosing ignorance over clarity as we turn a blind eye to that which may cause us discomfort. The world is a broken place defined by endless shards of cracked reality, but in the jagged crevices light seeps through…a light that sometimes shines so bright, its magnificence is impossible to ignore. For too long a time, a shroud of darkness was thrown over those who’ve had boundless potential to transcend greatness – shunned and cast out – often put down and made to feel ‘less than’. But a brilliant mind can’t be caged away forever; instantaneous flickers in time will reveal the magnitude and depth of the human spirit. . . Imagine the world never having heard the music of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? No sculptures such as Michelangelo’s David, no Sistine Chapel? What if Sir Isaac Newton hadn’t discovered gravity, and laws of motion that would be relevant 300 years later? And for all the writers out there, were you aware that Lewis Carroll, author of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, and one of the most brilliant poems ever written, “Jabberwocky”, fell under the umbrella of Autism? So to all of you who are reading this, ask yourself… “Is Autism a disorder, or is it a gift?”
