Vacuosity

Random neurons firing

Sometimes bizarre thoughts occur to me. Those of you who know me well are familiar with these. What even you don't see, for the most part, are the quick and often strange creations of the mind that aren't so fully developed as to be called thoughts, but are merely the ebb and flow of liquid consciousness.

For example, on my way to work today it was raining. I was not looking forward to walking over to the building in the rain. For the tiniest fraction of a second the idea occurred to me that I could drive around to the front of the building and drop myself off first. It was a flash and then it was gone, squashed by the cold reality of physics; but I can't deny that it lived, even if only for a miniscule existence.

Another thought...upon watching a large gaggle of geese enjoy the rain and and the bounty of edibles it produced from the grass on a huge green hillside..."Life is good." This came not from my own enjoyment of watching the geese, but from the point of view of the goose itself. For that split second, I was the goose nibbling the grass.

Maybe I shouldn't be sharing quite so much, but that's what this blog is all about: truth; capturing it and not being afraid to put it down in words. Every once in a while, those energetic synapses muster up something, and it's important to grab it while it's there.
