“Silly” thoughts… – part 1

They may seem silly, in a way, but are they really? And then, when I have these thoughts, I often wonder how "weird" they are... Do people think things like these occasionally? 🤔 Or are these thoughts a bit more special, in a way, because they don't happen that often? Or, when they happen, maybe people brush them off, and just continue with what they were doing? I know that my brain works in "mysterious" ways, at times. That my logical way of thinking doesn't seem logical at all to most other folks? That it may even seem wrong to some, until they, possibly, find out that some things have more than one "right" way to deal with them... But yeah, I sometimes have these thoughts, and they make me stop, and pause, for a moment... So now, when I have them, I try to write a bit about them on Mastodon. 😊 And in this post, I'll use the Toots (posts on Mastodon) as well as other bits, to tell you all about my "Silly" Thoughts. This is the first post in the series (will it be a series? 😇). […]

Realization (t)

Earless the Elephant Seal started thinking something was terribly wrong. He could see the waves lapping on the shoreline, but, the Sun was setting in the East. He stayed in school long enough to know that wasn't right.

Epiphany

The Moment of Realization. Epiphany. The moment when everything falls into place, when a veil is lifted and you see the truth. It’s a sudden realization that completely changes a character or the direction of a story.An epiphany is a defining moment for a character, when they experience a revelation that changes their perspective. This leads to a major shift in their character arc.Ebenezer Scrooge’s epiphany in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” comes after he’s visited by the Ghost of Christm

A quotation from A. A. Milne

   “Wait a moment,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, holding up his paw.
   He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks … and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
   “Yes,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
   “I see now,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
   “I have been Foolish and Deluded,” said he, “and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 3 “Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting” (1926)

Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 3 "Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting" (1926) - Milne, A. A. | WIST Quotations

WIST Quotations

That which moves me is not afraid of dying.
It’s afraid of being seen as nothing.

There was never anything unfulfilled, only compression.
A clenched signal pretending to be my truth.

When I look at it, it loses its story.
That’s the burn I feel.
Structure without belief can’t stand.

There’s no battle here.
Just a ghost realizing it has no body.
