Thanks so much for this - re...<b>Elephant's Child </b><br />Thanks so much for this - really a delightful comment.<br /><br /><b>Other Mary </b><br />Love the pun. Much thanks for it and the comment.<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Yes, I think that is the tactic: ride each thought as far as it will go.<br /><br /><b>Mary </b><br />Thanks for this Mary. It is really marvellous to get such comments. The waves that die and then give birth idea came out of the blue when the poem was al but finished.<br /><br /><b> Kerry</b><br />Thank you Kerry for a very generous response. Great to have you commenting.<br /><br /><b>Hannah </b><br />Hi, and a warm welcome to you. Thank you for your thoughts on the poem. I'm wondering if you meant rip tides from "the old brain" (as opposed to the "new"). If so, it is a distinction I had not thought of, but just might be worth pursuing.<br /><br /><b>Hedgewitch </b><br />Hmmm, I really appreciate this comment for its exact perceptions of the piece and their implications. You have given me something to chew upon, for which much thanks.<br /><br /><b>Carl </b><br />Hmmm, wouldn't it be wonderful to have such a dream? (Until you woke up, of course!)<br /><br /><b>aprille </b><br />Ah, well now, I'm not sure I've worked this out entirely!<br /><br /><b>Cloudia </b><br />Yeah, that just about sums it up!<br /><br /><b>Loredana </b><br />Hi, and a warm welcome. Thank you for the response and the excellent point made re dreams coming to the surface. Yes, I agree: thinking evolves and renews itself. Good to have had your thoughts.<br /><br /><b>ds </b><br />Thank you so much for saying this.<br /><br /><b>haricot </b><br />Yes, I think it is generally accepted that the ocean was the beginning of all life. Could be that is why it exerts such a strong pull on us (some of us?) even now.<br /><br /><b>Ygraine </b><br />Yes, I think so. As a young child I often imagined myself swimming miles in some tumultuous ocean.<br />The drive is very deep, I think.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-2054128504287874952013-04-09T11:31:01.907+01:002013-04-09T11:31:01.907+01:00How wonderful to ride such fluid thoughts...tsunam...How wonderful to ride such fluid thoughts...tsunamis of the mind indeed...so much better than languishing in still and stagnant waters.<br />Oh what a fabulous mind!<br />This is amazing...:)<br />Ygrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-29188800208799608522013-04-09T09:36:26.781+01:002013-04-09T09:36:26.781+01:00According to some theories our origin came from th...According to some theories our origin came from the ocean, and your lines beautifully and powerfully make me rethink about it...haricothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052133324297115131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-53143043042889663522013-04-09T04:53:01.992+01:002013-04-09T04:53:01.992+01:00Ah, the thought-tsunamis of the sea of dreams (wel...Ah, the thought-tsunamis of the sea of dreams (well, subconscious).
