Of Stars and Turtles
It starts with the sea turtles. Born into a swirling ever demanding unfair chaos that overtakes them from the beginning of their existence. Born to die. That is the head of the writer. Thousands of ideas, tens of thousands perhaps, crawling through the gritty dooming existence of birth (hatching), with only one – ten if you are lucky – find their way to be something else, something greater. All the turtles only trying to make sense of their world before being swooped up by a gull or crushed by a stray dog. Of course it is all gibberish. Complete nonsense to anyone but the author who is trying to find their own path to water. Their own path to sanity or rational thought. Perhaps it is only an attempt to clear the mind from those ten thousand stories cracking themselves out of their hard shell only to find they were buried in the sand. Predator swamping. That is what it is called. The biological phenomenon where if thousands of prey swarm the scene, the comparing few predators cannot hope to eliminate them all. It should be called prey swamping. All in all, it sounds pretty terrible for the turtles. Great day for the gulls. No wonder Hemingway was an alcoholic suicidal. Does this make sense? Millions of words that never reach the paper flooding the mind, twisting and turning, a bowl of egg yellows and whites beaten and whipped until frothy yet never reaching the pan. The quill may touch the ink – does it not always? It rests there most of the time moving only with a breeze or draft. Rarely the touch of a hand compels it to move, much less the mind. And so the turtles crawl on. One painstaking grain of sand at a time toward a goal that beats them back, that at first refuses to take them. For the reader is quick to judge and even faster to hate. This is good – apologies – this is well.

Have you ever had a Lucid Dream? For those who might be unaware of what a Lucid Dream might be, it’s a dream where you know you are dreaming. Some have said that they could control what happens in this type of dream. According to an article in healthline.com – “5 Techniques to Try for Lucid Dreaming”, it’s estimated that 55 percent of people have had one or maybe even multiple.
