Word associations, mental clarity and connections; wonder where your mind takes you as you play along with me?  Pick a word, any word, following the journey into the depths of your synapsis, sharing with yourself the first words that pop into your head.   The game does become more complicated when choosing a more loaded starting point.  Pick a word, any word you want…love, ecstasy, passion, or perhaps something more political in topic such as Republican, Democrat, immigration, or equality?  Perhaps go out on a limb with Obama or Romney, if you use the word Mitt, do you think of glove or instead say Mormon?  Black, blue, bruises, abuse, childhood…never mind, let’s choose another word, do you have one that you would like to try?

Let’s have some fun.  Captain’s, Log, Star Trek…dang, two words, who is up next?  Captain, Kangaroo, Australia, Boomerang, Return, Gifts, Christmas, Stockings, Garters, Enticing, Touch, Tone, Exercise, Bike, Path, Journey, Band, Beatle’s, Revolution, Sixties, Turbulent, Times, Magazine…oh please, we all know that print media is so yesterday’s news.  Do you have the new IPhone 6, and does it bend if you keep it too long in your hip pocket?  Ace, Spades, Cards, Hallmark, greetings…not any more, let’s send a text instead, or perhaps jump on Twitter and bare our souls in 140 characters or less.

Relationship, status…hold the phone…why is it that we folks in the single category feel being in a relationship gives us status?  Don’t get me wrong, would love to be “in a relationship” but do I need a relationship because with it comes status, as if in being a relationship suddenly makes me, or us more socially acceptable, as if being partnered suddenly stamps our passport, makes us eligible for those A list events that seem too often reserved for those who find themselves in the couples category.  Curious involved couples of the world, does inviting your single friend to join the two of you for dinner feel ACKWARD?  Are we really the proverbial THIRD WHEELS?  Inquiring minds wants to know.  

Why do I suddenly hear “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” playing in the recesses of my mind?  Dark Side of the Moon anyone? 

The lunatic is in my head. 
The lunatic is in my head 
You raise the blade, you make the change 
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. 
You lock the door 
And throw away the key 
There's someone in my head but it's not me. 

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear 
You shout and no one seems to hear. 
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes 
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. 

Suddenly feeling like Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz”…lets all “Follow the yellow brick road”.  Which of the main characters best represents yourself?  Myself, I just want to go home, or perhaps more appropriately stated, “I just want to find home”.  You know what I am talking about…find that space and place where a peace settles over you, that special glow that comes with the heart felt knowledge that where you are, where you find yourself is WHERE YOU BELONG.  I will not…no, I refuse here to make some kind of an Elton John, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” reference.  It would SO DATE ME.

Captain’s Log..

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

Whoops, wrong synapsis fired…Donovan perhaps?

The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean

So great an area of land that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the south
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails

To them East Africa was a neighbor
Across a short strait of sea miles
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of the Atlantian culture
The antediluvian kings colonized the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis

Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships

To all corners of the Earth, on board were the
Twelve, 'The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends'

Though Gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing
And dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis

Let’s talk about Global Warming and Climate Change, but before we start could you pass me the Cabernet Sauvignon, and one of those little tarts with the pralines on top.  Thank you, and by the way, “How was work today?”

And I leave you with this…Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, Number 9, number 9
