Do you ever have a thought capture your mind and you just have to follow the thread of that thought to the end? I have, and I suspect many of you have, too.
These thoughts usually begin with an observation. Quite unexpectedly that observation connects with something I’ve observed previously and just filed away without any expectation of when I might need it, if ever.
Sometimes these threads lead me down interesting corridors leading to insights about myself. Sometimes they lead to insights about my place in the Universe. Sometimes, they lead to no particular conclusion and get filed away until some other stray thought causes them to come forward again.
Do these kinds of perusings happen to you? I suspect they do more often than most people will admit.
Curiously, these connections and insights occur most often when I am living in the moment; observing with disinterest, but not uninterested and not thinking about all the other things having a call on my time. I almost hear a click in my head as the connection takes place. When that happens I become quite still as the thread consumes my attention. I seem to step outside of myself and the situation as I continue to observe and connect and follow the thread of the original thought. When I follow the thread to its end I usually experience a moment of pure connection with the Universe. It is a powerful moment.
There are times when my attention is drawn to greater events around me and to peoples’ reactions to those events. They may contain a lesson for me, causing a shift in my perspective and perhaps my behavior. These occasions can be quite profound and enlightening.
Sometimes these events happen in clusters, sometimes they do not happen for periods of time, However, I have created this blog in order to record them when they occur and what my conclusions or lessons were.
