Weighing Thoughts


Alt Text:

a mini scale balanced by the touch of a finger.


Backstory:


One of the toughest battles facing anyone on any day will likely be centered around decision-making thoughts. The suspense of making a choice that will ultimately lead to a change in outcome can build up intense amounts of stress. Each outcome holds the potential for great new possibilities and/or horrifying consequences.


If you have watched the science fiction TV series Foundation created by David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman, (I admit one needs quite an open mind to watch the show), but if you hold on long enough the concepts and ideas that arise do ask important questions. However, most of the questions in the show center mainly around psychohistory and quantum technologies.


As a writer of all sorts my mind constantly weighs one word against another, balancing dialogues with narration, and sifting through old ideas versus new ones. Even when my mind is quiet, my subconscious takes over, and whether dreaming or awake, I'm always thinking.

 

Deep depths of measured meditative-travel.


Malarkey moments,

Momentary thoughts unravel.


Words never spoken,

Yet not unknown,

For Sophia hides in silence,

Behind the philosopher’s tongue.

​

She masquerades as the owl,

Caressing the moon,

Sprouts in the mind,

Inception is her tool.


Neurotic neurons race around,

Cells are lit up.


Fiction-filled fighting,

Frictional facts,

Makes grey-white matter turn into brain maps.


Possibilities never calculated,

Three point fourteen and on,

Are we circular triangles,

Or a line dotted ion?


Where does imagery sleep,

Painting pictures pristine?


Is she a vixen-tailed paintbrush,

Excoriating esteem?


Pillow parades,

Vexed visions,

Vivaciously;

What need for dreams with ideas running audaciously?


Time demanded focus,

Depletion of energy;

Requires rest,

Research,

And developing the elementary.


Why does thinking require one to pace?


For all our thoughts would require all of Space.
