Or, you could try a Zen koan instead of a long drawn out explanation:

-------Shuzan held out his short staff and said, "If you call this a short
staff, you oppose its reality. If you do not call it a short staff, you
ignore the fact. Now what do you wish to call this?" ------

Making it complicated with all sorts of philosophical connections does not
make it more real.
