The Intricacies Of A Thought

December 16, 2024



Are absolutely fascinating

Starting with the post title

Where did it come from

Was it suspended in the ether

While I moved into its space

Absorbed it in gray spongey matter

To rerelease it as a blog post

Contemplating what it is

Why is it manifesting

Here and now for k(no)w reason

How come is it in the language

I barely understand, yet use

Daily, without proper grammar

Or perfect punctuation

What is the message

Or, If there is even one

Is it just random rhetoric

That serves no purpose

Could it be the key to opening

The secrets of the universe

Not only did the thought occur

In a location “back,” there

On a rapid rotating sphere

Hurling through the cosmos

When the sun was becoming visible

That thought gripped my imagination

Yet, while dissecting it here

Thousands and thousands of

Other thoughts have occurred

As the sun became invisible

Some turned into action

Others into dialog between people

All while hoping to retain the word

Intricacies until I could jot it down

To develop this contemplation

Putting it in pixilated print for

Myself and others to read

Either once or over and again



“But then, I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, which does not change every moment, since there is no consciousness without memory, and no continuation of a state without the addition, to the present feeling, of the memory of past moments. It is this which constitutes duration.

Inner duration is the continuous life of a memory which prolongs the past into the present, the present either containing within it in a distinct form the ceaselessly growing image of the past, or, more profoundly, showing by its continual change of quality the heavier and still heavier load we drag behind us as we grow older.

Without this survival of the past into the present there would be no duration, but only instantaneity.”

― Henri Bergson


(Why/how did I “stumble” across this quote at this “time”, that in my mind seems to fit the content and context of this post, to help, in at least my understanding of thought, either simple or intricate.)


Lending to Einstein’s theory that

Everything is happening all at once

Yet according to Dr. Brian Greene

Time is following an arrow

Seemingly both must be correct

Seeing as how I can not

Unexperience that thought about

The intricacies of a thought

It goes on, yet proceeded from

One thought to another while/as

It is/was presented here, ….. whew




“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin

    When we open ourselves to the universal creative source of life, and let it “use” our mind, words flow like out of nothing but with great meaning. I resonated a lot with your words, my friend. Thank you for this! Deep and mystical, as always! Lots of light and blessings to you 🙏 🌟
