Thoughts become things

[Leah Southey]

It's my understanding that primitive peoples couldn't see the boats approaching the remote places where they lived.

Why? Because they had no reference for big things that floated. As far as they were concerned, that just wasn't possible, so they didn't see it or they convinced themselves they were imagining something and didn't talk about it for fear of being thought crazy.

Fast-forward a few hundred years...

This was me, not too long ago. I went into my back yard late at night to have a smoke, and I looked up at the sky and saw... I don't know what. Some small lights (plural), high in the sky, that moved, disappeared, moved, disappeared, moved, disappeared, moved, disappeared... several times, while I was watching.

That was no plane, no helicopter, no helium balloon. I still don't know what it was.

I watched it for a while, then it occurred to me that They might be looking back at Me, and I got scared and went back inside, because maybe whatever-it-was could see me and might come down and grab me.

That was probably daft. Anyway, it's in the diary.
