UNREAD THE READ
And i read my mind, the letters vague and jumbled. Curtains were drawn over some letters, some were overwritten, some...peeping from a distance to get into my sight. I read my mind murmuring. Only i could listen to what i was reading. i read my mind slowly so that i could pronounce correctly what was trying to read. Covered most of the letters were, i tried to DiScOvEr them. There was another cover of dust, i broomed that. Somewhat clearer they appeard. i read my mind. The letters were still there. i must tell you, those letters were not in an alphabetical order, my mind was perhaps unaware of the sequence. i read them non-sequentially. Just like that. Just in the manner they were found. Just in the sequence i was dusting them, brooming them.
So, i read my mind, the letters non-sequential. Tiny i, the BIG BOLD letters. Vague was my vision or the Big Bold letters? "opthalmologist', the word struck. i had read it in "Word Power Made Easy" by Norman Lewis. If i remember it well, it means an eye specialist. shoul i visit one. I would tell her/him that i see vague letters. What would i say? that i can't read my own mind!?! Does the doctor read his/her mind? Am i sure the doctor can see those letters or for that matter any once else? or would i be the first one to complain about my poor vision? Poor vision?!? But i can very well see the blue sky, the green plants, the faces, the buildings, the scriptures, the everything but it is also true that i can't see those letters. Should i wash my eyes?
...The letters are clearer now. But i don't read my mind. The letters are no more vague, the letters shiny and clear, the letters in a sequence now. i did not even murmur, i did not read them slow, i did not read them aloud seeing that the world surrounds me.
But i tried to. i read my mind inside my mind and took care that no one listens to it. May be i was ashamed of it. Probably. Probably for sure. Because, it was not in a sequence a dictionary says. Because it was not defined as Norman Lewis does. Because they were not the same letters, i was taught.
So i unread my mind. Don't tell this to anyone.
Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir!
ReplyDeleteCan you be the ophthalmologist for other's mind? I've been trying to read my mind too. It is as fast as the speeding meteor, the light of the sun. It is beautiful though. I read a bit of yours too here. Your mind is conjointly beautiful!
