This is me in my thinking chair and I have been thinking lots about thinking, some times we can do it too much. I mean sometimes we should just write what we feel, or see... I have thought about this before so I am repeating this when I say, Italo Calvino has suggested that we may distinguish between two types of imaginative process: "...one that starts with the word and arrives at the visual image, and the one that starts with the visual image and arrives at its verbal expression." And if we think about it this can be extended to five through the senses and then beyond using the combinations of them. This had me musing about the sixth sense, not one which we use to hear, see, smell, touch or taste but the one that makes us feel, for what sense records joy or pain or anger or love and then there are the associates, desire, passion, none of them being a visual or a verbal expression. Writing "oh" so it can be seen as a visual image on this page, or uttering "oh" so it can be heard as a response to a visual seems to deny the expression its wider legitimacy when it is even a silent reaction to the sixth sense concentration of the soul miner. And this clip is an "oh" for the ears and eyes and a wonderful heartbeat, can you smell it, taste it, feel it echo inside as something indescribable. Just thought I would share it - it helps me with writer's block... click on the link I have no idea what he is singing but ''oh'' and I am thinking about Dan in Africa right now - oh, and if I could bottle this without the singer I would write my own version, but it wouldn't be better because I just think this is the bees knees:
