My mind is spinning today.

I’m having a good day. I’m having pleasant interactions with others. I’ve gotten a lot done. I’m happy. So it’s not an “upset” thing.

It’s just funny is all. It’s like I’m feeling like my brain is charged up with more thoughts than i can think all at one time. The universe of my thoughts almost seem to fall in on each other some times.

And it sort of feels like if I just stop trying to interpret them, and just experience the raw data feed, without allowing myself to translate it into something meaningful, it will all fall into place and suddenly make sense.

 do you know what i mean? like i could learn how to do it or something. getting lost in translation. if there was a way to just experience the meaning, without having to label or translate it, it would all make sense. (gee, that sounds so zen…    )

i took a couple of semesters of a sign language interpreter program. it was a phase. but throughout the course of that program, i learned something…specifically, what it felt like to think in another language. to understand without translating it into english first.

and i’ll tell ya: that was a weird feeling. becuase it’s not your native language, maybe it gets processed by a different part of the brain or something. i dunno. it felt like the meaning was mainlined into my brain. it was trippy.

 but you know what i’m talking about? or is it just me?
