Flowing Thoughts

with 2 comments

I apologize in advance for my decision to allow some words to flow unabated, but this is one of those times when I haven’t come up with a specific subject worth writing about and so as an exercise in freeing myself from the logical center of my thinking and all the usual censors of common sense for communicating in a conventional manner, I allow the words to tumble out in a stream of conscious flurry that for some reason involves a distinct aversion to happening in concise, pleasing-to-read sentence structure. It brings to mind the fact that it reflects all of nature and time in that none of that ever pauses in the way we do with our little dot at the end of each grammatical phrase. The earth just spins and spins and light fades to dark so fast sometimes it boggles my mind and then in a blink it is daylight again and critters and little children are skittering about with irrepressible energy to explore their world as if this might be the last chance to do so, probably sensing that for centuries  people have been conjuring ideas that our existence is doomed and some apocalyptic event will unleash horrific wrath as if something we earned or at least somehow deserve and it may just be thoughts like that which allow entire tribes of people to become so fixated on their fears and hatred that they will do everything in their power to avoid peace settlements which normal logic sees as twisted because peace makes so much more sense in the way that a calm sunny day compares to a dark and stormy one. Do you see how an untethered mind will wander to the angst which can be the wrong place for a mind to dwell and therefore effort does need to be made toward correcting the path of the stream of thinking toward a plane of hope that allows for a vast landscape of happy, healthy ideation in which possibilities abound and where reality is still well within grasp so that it doesn’t turn out to be some frilly false front of fantastic, but a seriously great accomplishment of truly healthy being and that is something that can be managed on an individual basis and with some luck there are moments when enough healthy logical individuals come together to impact our world in a way which adds value for the masses and not just in the way a group of athletes do when they surmount all obstacles and beat the odds to triumph and claim the top prize in their sport, but in a way that entire nations succeed in doing right for all citizens and supporting the human rights of people and animals and when doing so finding that everyone wins, not just the greedy financial wizards who devise ways to dupe the system… oops, there it goes again. See what I mean? So much for that exercise. I’m considering going back to normal sentences. As if that will solve things. I suppose it can’t hurt. Hope that was relative something. It’s what I am offering today. It is Labor Day weekend here and I am up at my favorite place. I’m going to go see what the day brings. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Sunday to you!
