As you have written previously in "Words to me are like iron filings to the magnet on my fingertips", the spark of mankind's imagination never ends.
An elder family member once noted to me that you learn something new every day. And, in this whirling world in which we live in today, it's obvious that person was oh so on target.
We learn things from just observing the world around us. From the littlest flickering of a butterfly in front of us. To the reaction on a person's face that is right before our eyes.
The mind is like a clock. Sometimes it ticks. And, yes, sometimes it tocks.
When it ticks, it's like a diamond. All sparkling and brilliant. Yet, when it tocks, that lump of coal is all that is held in the palm of a hand.
But, we all as humans, must keep up a brave front for the world to see. Tocks are just those small bumps in the road of life, which have to always be caressed and rubbed to a point of being a bit more shiny.
Life definitely isn't all diamonds. But, not all coal either. Ticks and tocks are the balance which we all have to live with.
"The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival." - Aristotle
