This morning as I walked for the train I saw a dying bird on the road — something about the way it flailed blindly on the path made me feel sick. Then I realised it was just a clump of wet leaves blowing about, but it was a while before the nausea passed — and it struck me that if my body had responded as if it had been the bird, was my perception of it really false, even if it had only been the leaves?
