WALKING AND THINKING - 5
WALKING AND THINKING ( Part 5 )
------------------------------
------------------------------
Can anyone deny having traversed through the memory lanes of life on a fairly regular basis despite prima facie condescending to conclude that instances of such indulgences are in fact sheer waste of time ?
But I reckon, nevertheless, that these are beneficial to further re - activate and re - energise the myriad props and processes in our body.
The feeling referred to as "nostalgia" is a gentle but genuine effect which tends to sprout and spread that essence of goodness.
If one can remember the scripts or screenplays of at least a few of the dreams that creep in in a rather silent or sombre manner while we are sleeping quite oblivious to the outside world at large, it is seen as a number of files of actual events that occurred over the years of our lifetimes already spent ; but coming up in a bizarre and at times bedraggled manner. In the context of the very rapid advance in technology we are presently seeing in our lives, these could be perhaps labelled as files which have been distorted, disturbed or corrupted.
The baffling and at times bothersome thing is that such dream sequences seem to sway in and sashay at regular intervals with slender changes in the nuances !
Quite often these REM ( Rapid Eye Movement ) phases as they are called tend to veer on the point beyond the pivot resulting in some nerve tingling moments. I for one cannot rule out these fantastic or fatalistically fancy rides of imagination as signifying something deeper and dynamic.
The quixotic thing is that on waking up at dawn, most of the situations in the dreams or nightmares seem imaginary.
There is another angle to this which I have actually experienced. Several times better thought processes are born resulting in quick rhyming lines or even bright one - liners. There are occasions when I have abruptly got out of bed to write down on pieces of paper these free gifts from somewhere beyond !
My gentle readers are probably thinking that the effective exercise of "walking" has apparently gone missing in this epistle. A saunter through dreams is the next stage in mental walking; no doubt a trifle different from the physical walking !
I would like to add that the ennervating habit of trying to think from multiple angles had taken root in me around the time when my calendar age was about 8 or 9. Reading the wonderful "dohas" of Kabir, Rahim, Tulsi, et al gave wings of fancy in flight.
Perhaps, I may be concluding this series called "Walking And Thinking" with this floater episode.
