Do you remember my recent visual disorientation: not being sure whether I was moving? Here’s an example of a similar phenomenon. This time, though, I think it’s deliberate.

"Hope" is the Thing with Feathers
- Emily Dickinson“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.Posted: 2025 Feb 07

Stunning! The only way I could stop the spinning sensation was to focus on the ground-level exit, which clearly disgorged moving people without knee-capping them. I am dizzy simply recalling the image. My brain cannot let go of it!
Laurna – You’d think that knowing it’s an illusion would help us shut it down – but not so much!
Laura:
Thanks for the hint to stop it. Looking at the exit did stop the bottom layer for me, but out of the corner/top of my eye, the rest kept moving!
Jim R – 🙂
Isabel – thanks!! I think???
John – 🙂 IKR?
Brilliant!! Good way to gaslight first-timers on seeing it. Moving? What do you mean?
Barbara – Hahaha. Yes, that would drive someone crazy.
