notions and ideas
------------------------------
November 01,2008 by scottmartinlocke
where do they come from ? these concepts of the mind; notions and ideas;
harmonic sounds that flow through the faculty of our intelligence. From within and from the other side. We struggle after ideas and go from place to place where notions find their comfort in the hidden recesses of our intelligence. they come from fact and from fantasy. the constant flux is only our rational behavior of being human. some good music increases their presence. the experience is real. our thoughts define us. our knowledge increases our capacity to realize and imagine. i was listening to a song on the CD on my new stereo. the tempo picked up. a woman talked in french. it must have been of love. the synthesizer played in the background. i could hear a waterfall
close by. she said when it rained in paris people would go out and get all wet. not only in paris but in every city. what a distraction foreigners have. we are even foreigners to ourselves. always searching for truth; and we find similarities everywhere. so what is the real truth but a notion or an idea. i go to the library and find distraction in all the books. the internet is fun too. we should let ourselves step out boldly into the unknown and find out what it is. once known we find more unknown; the attraction is inevitible. we are a curious people. we pass knowledge to one another. that's the title of my new book;
three years now in creation. i'm typing it from my notes. we rise to the occasion of our thoughts. from there we rise to the heights of our imagination. these notions and ideas we have are generated by the mind's own activity.
like a lighthouse and its beacon we are drawn to them in curiosity. thanks again for your time.
