Re: The Wandering Mind

Hahaha…….right Allan!! I believe that my brain/thoughts considers rather than wanders…..although….I find it does, from time to time if left unattended….. meander, particularly If my thoughts are not engaged or directed toward a particular path………….focused?

I tend not to harshly judge the ever seeking portion of my brain or my “meandering” trait…….it actually provides much more than it detracts from me. There many things that happen as a result of this seemingly disconnectedness or meandering…… one is understanding connectedness or patterns that many other people with different traits struggle to see……it also can provide answers or solutions to issues that standard linear thinking traits will typically not see. It (for me) is often the door to creativity……and that enjoy I immensely.

An off shoot of meandering has the potential to result in great humour too…..and I am often amused at the thoughts that my meandering will/can string together, and if/when those thoughts are verbalized…..it can be great fun!!!! Laughter is a wonderful thing to bestow on one’s self and others……..it is part of the richness of life…..no?

I simple word or phrase in a seemly mundane conversation can kick off a divergent thinking path (for me) that left run to fruition bears such things as new ideas, humour, or solutions. Sometimes this trait makes me laugh out loud (even alone)…..often it makes others laugh as well, it can put a lot of fun into conversation……the absurdity of the connectivity of seemingly random or divergent thoughts.

Scatty, I had a Prof or two and the odd Teacher or two….that could/would as a rule take subject matter and drive it all over that map….deriving connection to social and or political matter related to all aspects of life…….those Teachers/Profs were fantastic people, the ones I learned from, they engaged me, allowed me to think openly, borderlessly…!!!I Scatty……I remember them to this day, I can see them!!! My life was enriched by these people in so many ways…..and still is today!!!!

This is what things such as great comedy and learning are made of…….which I also believe to be a closely linked neighbor of brilliance.

Or sumpthin’ like that…….
