Where is it?

October 28 2018

Over a lifetime many many things have been close and familiar, known, used, put away. Often there is a gap, a disturbance, an absence. After a while you might want to see it, touch it, experience it again. And then the familiar cant be found. Search and search, try to remember where it was, what it looked like, how it sounded, what its texture was. But it is as though it has vaporized, disintegrated, disappeared into the void. Is that the fate of everything in the universe? Well yes, since it all exists only in my brain, it has no veridical reality. So goodbye yellow brick road, you never existed in the first place. And this is the fate of everything, since it is all in my head and that will close down sooner or later. It’s foolish to grieve over what never was.
