Sparking with Eccentricity
I sit and wonder where the thoughts come from, where the words appear. There is a process happening inside my brain but the manner of it is not clear.
Under my skull there is a large pink gelatinous mass that is my brain. It flows with blood and electricity – a jelly of cells with intricate neuronal networks of trillions. It throbs. I like to imagine it glowing even though I know it does not.
Within this jelly my thoughts and dreams are formed. My awareness of myself is constructed and my consciousness created.
When I stop to think about the physical and biochemical processes involved I am astounded. It is magical. To think that chemistry is the basis of my personality.
When I stood in front of others to speak I was so in awe of the process that I was never confident that the right words would ever form. I could imagine myself standing there with an empty head.
As I get older the words often play hide and seek with me. But I eventually track them down.
The wonder of consciousness is one of life’s great mysteries. But it does not make me believe in even more esoteric beliefs. Life is amazing. But I believe we will understand it in time to come. Science adores a mystery.
The incredible spectacle of the universe, life and consciousness are part of the phenomenon that gives life purpose and fills me with ecstasy.
That’s enough.
Sparking with Eccentricity
I have this pink blancmange
Full of electricity
That houses the thoughts
That are the essence of me;
Convoluting tubes
Sparking with eccentricity;
Grooves and ridges
Retaining my imaginative
Elasticity.
I spark!
I light up!
And I fly!
That gelatinous
Jelly
Throbs
With the warmth
That is I.

I think I only found mine in the last year. Here you are back, confusing me as ever.
If you think I’m confusing you then you should see what I’m doing to myself!
You have the curiosity and imagination of a child coupled with the vocabulary and thought process of an eccentric!! Loved it 🙂
Glad you liked it. I try to write what is in my head without the filter in between. Honesty and authenticity. Wonder and awe. Life is magnificent.
