Elephant Story, Revised

“It is impossible to describe a landscape so validly as to exclude all other descriptions, for no one can see the landscape in all its aspects at the same time, and no single view can prevent the existence and validity of other equally possible views.”  
Frithjof Schuon,
In the Face of the Absolute

 True.  But only up to a point:  the Designer of the landscape, dwelling outside and above it, would have the complete view.  It would be foolishness to spurn His description.
