Isn’t it amazing how we take them for granted, those little black marks on paper! Twenty-six different shapes known as letters, arranged in endless combinations known as words. Lifeless, until someone’s eye falls on them...
But then a miracle happens. Along the optic nerve, almost at the speed of light, these tiny symbols are flashed to the brain where they are instantly decoded into ideas, images, concepts, meanings.
The owner of the eye is changed, too. The little black ma...rks can make him love or hate, laugh or cry, fight or run away. And what do we call this incredible chain of events?
Ik ben Martin Vanhee, en gebruik soms ook wel de schuilnaam Maarten.
