Thoughts swirl in and around my head all day – thoughts that shift and jump and morph from one form to another; half-formed barely-virgin ideas, salted, unsalted; bittersweet poignance moulding into rough, crabby chunks of unreasonable reckoning; stringy and bold fancies warp into petite, contrite thought-substance – and yet…faced with an empty page, I cannot remember what it is I wanted to discourse on.
I had dozens of ideas to expound upon…and now I am empty – more so than the page.
Even then. Let us begin.
I have found it rather pleasing to put into words this phenomenon that I have been noticing recently. You form an idea, or opinion about something, and then you revise it. Again and again and again. New thoughts come about and change your thinking, and you voice a slightly changed opinion…and this goes on.
The only problem is…who to voice it to.
I’m being overwhelmed with emotion.
I must stop.

That's tricky business, the allotropic manifestation of an idea.
ReplyDeleteBetter still would be to have a clearer discourse of what you wanted to - ideas leads you astray, sometimes too far from objectivity into their realm of abstract. It feels good to expound through that literally infinite expanse to work on, with words. However, there's no end to it - and there are no conclusions.
what do you mean by allotropic manifestation?
