On the Freedom of Thought, part 2

This is the second part of Diptych on the Freedom of Thought

I always resented people saying, "it's all in your head," as if objective reality doesn't exist. Now, when I need to start a new life in a foreign country, I would love to hide from an objective reality into a fantasy land of my art.

Sometimes, what's in your head truly liberates you from the chains of objective reality, allowing you to reside in your creative Neverland, gazing out the window at the unforgiving world.

I sense a close connection here with Jorge Luis Borges' story "The Secret Miracle," where a writer condemned to execution completes a novel within the subjective seconds stretched out over months, while a bullet is flying toward him.
