Oranges are not the only fruit - True?
FRUITIER
“And when I look at a history book and think of the imaginative effort it has taken to squeeze this oozing world between two boards and typeset, I am astonished. Perhaps the event has an unassailable truth. God saw it. God knows. But I am not God. And so when someone tells me what they heard or saw, I believe them, and I believe their friend who also saw, but not in the same way, and I can put these accounts together and I will not have a seamless wonder but a sandwich laced with mustard of my own.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
We find the truth in our sandwich?
Do you look past the oranges and find the wonderful variety of perceptions?
How original is your mustard?
