Freestone Adventures 1 – The Bird on the Roof

Welcome to the first episode of The Freestone Adventures — a series about small moments that suddenly open the door to bigger thoughts. During breakfast, Freestone spots a heron landing on the neighbour’s roof. But when he takes a picture with his iPhone, the scene looks completely different — a dark grid appears. Why? And what does it say about the way humans and technology “see” the world? This short story gently explores perception, attention, and how easily our mind filters reality. It ends with a small everyday scene that brings the idea back to real life: different focuses, different truths — both appropriate. If you enjoy philosophical mini-stories with humour and clarity, Freestone will gladly continue his adventures.
