Idle Meanderings

A storm is brewing. It begins slowly, with a slight breeze turning into a gale of emotion, and this gale unsettles the sea of thought. Cognitations churning, whirlwinds forming, ideas going round and round, coming from nowhere, and to nowhere going back. The sound is picking up, the gale screams, the sea crashes, but the din is quickly shadowed by a roaring thunder that announces the arrival of a bolt of information, and the darkness recedes for a slight moment, too quick to grasp any of it. Soon after another rumbling announces a second bolt, this one of memories, and after a third that is about imagination. The one calm scenario is no more, it has transformed completely into an outrageous storm.  The night won’t rest tonight, that is for sure. And if the night is the sum of the wind, the sea and the darkness, then these elements that are emotion and thought together form a human mind, disturbed by the wildness its elements have acquired, together with the flashing information, memories and imagination. And this mind is my mind, which, as has been said, doesn’t appear to be going to settle down any time soon.
