The Weather of the Mind

2024.08.12

Good morning and the things that continue.

Just a first thing in the morning quick set down to set things right. I'll be back.

Back.

We revisit. Should we write good morning again?

As we just did, we'll leave the question answered.

Free of distractions.
That was the idea.

And wow did the world get in the way.
The world unseen.
That living daydream called Life.

What if it's real, the cloud of thought we find ourselves in?
The 'what' we cannot touch?
What if we share that cloud of thoughts and dreams?
What if the dream world, the thought world, is an actual place?

I believe it is.
It comes first.
The dream always precedes, always gives the orders, always looks for order to be made of itself.

We medicate it.
So many of us do.
We seek to quiet it.

But what if our thoughts, especially the spinning racing ones, are trying to alert us to something?

Like hurricanes and thunderstorms, the weather of the mind, the ecosystem of dreams, speaks to us.

"Get inside, head as far underground as possible, storms a 'comin."

And we find ourselves depressed in a basement fortified against a world we cannot touch, but touches us, and so our rulers keep ruling us with our inability (we think) to measure them.

Doctors measure symptoms then reverse engineer the body's workings to get a name for the underlying cause.

The weather in the world of dreams sounds a good enough reason.

If you don't like snowstorms, best move out of Northern Canada.

It's the same for the land of dreams.

Find a new path, a new residency, the people you surround yourself with.
Your time involves people who dwell in temperate zones not suited for you.

Perhaps you belong with artists, or craftspeople, or spreadsheet servants, data heads, checklist chaps, or sport playing kinesthetics, theatrical thespians, where's your ideal house of dreams?

What's the temperature? What are the locals like?

It's crucial to your wellbeing you find out.
First and foremost, you ought to find out the type of person you are and meet those needs.

Don't ever buy someone else's dream of you.
How could they ever know your worth?

Only you do.

Your job is to share what you know you're worth with the world.

Best share it in the company of those who recognize it right off.
Best get up in the morning to those glad to see and hear from you because you, too, recognize the importance of their dedication to their serving of their own dream.
