'I
was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.'
- Steven Wright
A recent issue of 'Discovery' magazine had an interesting
article in it about the overlooked importance of daydreaming - who knew? Apparently, it is when our minds are given
the freedom to explore and travel to
wherever the moment takes it, that revelations occur; when a completely
unrelated dream can lead us to look at a problem in a whole new way. For all of you fellow daydream travellers out
there - all aboard!
The
Dream Train
There's
a train that comes by often,
A
muse who calls to me,
"Come
hop aboard, forget your work,
Let's
see what we can see!"
"No
ticket will be needed,
No
carry-on", says she;
”Only
thoughts will be collected,
And dreams can travel
free."
It
picks me up at random,
While
my mind is caught off guard,
Floating
on a piece of music,
Or
wandering through the yard.
It
leaves at no particular time
And
often takes detours,
There's
food for thought in the dining car,
Where imagination stirs;
Travelling
in my private car,
Alone,
I ride along,
Oblivious
to the outside world,
Lost
in my own song,
So
quiet is the engine,
You
can miss time passing through,
Till
you wake - the ride is over,
And a dream steps off with you!
