Here’s a Retourne
what happened was experience
what we remember are tales
we told ourselves about it
they go on to become beliefs
what we remember are tales
what we saw, what we heard
what we touched, how we felt
in frameworks of our choice
we tell ourselves about it
repeat the story many times
with new details added
till it becomes a new reality
they go on to become beliefs
reality is only a perspective
believers shape the world around them
in tales they told themselves
Creative Experiments and More 
So true. Excellent poem, Reena.
