“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

Time has a strange way of wrapping around itself. You wake at the beginning of the day and it seems to stretch out in front of you, like an endless vacuum. Everything which runs through your mind seems sucked into an open void and if you fail to hold on tight to the edges you can fall forever, lost in the seams between time and space.

The thought  keeps crossing my mind that if I were to escape through one of these invisible portals, I might find the answers which solve the problems which are plaguing us now. I may even find the answers to cure whatever ails us. It’s amazing how much time can pass whilst you are lost in this reverie. Imagination is a priceless gift, one not only for small children and weird scientists.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. –  T.E.Lawrence

The power of the mind is an uncharted map. People are trying to understand how it works, how it can repair itself and how it can do things people refuse to believe in. It is accepted that we utilise only 10% of our brain. Imagine if we could increase that. Imagine if we all could increase our minds abilities and capabilities. What might we be able to achieve then?

A cure for the common cold, for small pox, legionella, Alzheimer’s, Lyme disease, depression, for a brain which has been oxygen starved….. imagine what might be achieved. Whilst it would be truly wondrous to cure all the ills of the world, if I had the opportunity I would firstly cure the hatred which holds all mankind back.  I feel I’m harking back to the Sixties and talking about World Peace. It is a beautiful thought.

Life wouldn’t be life without all the wonders around us, from the sea to the sky, the earth and animals, to space and man and so much more. For me. this song makes everything fall into perspective.

I will find you, by Clannad in  “The Last of the Mohicans”.
