How fascinating is our mind…how vast for in it…all our memories are stored… and no matter how many memories we’ve made there’s always room for more. Sometimes I think our mind is like an endless ocean with an infinite amount of waves where on the crest…as each one flows a memory is saved Where we can dip our toes into the water to remember or wait for a memory to break upon our shore…’ Sometimes I wonder if our memories are what make our ocean’s roar. Sometimes I think each memory is like a cloud floating in our mind’s endless sky set adrift upon the wind…continuously floating by Where we can touch the clouds that carry happy memories again…and again…and again… while the clouds that carry our sad memories sometimes fall on us…like rain. Sometimes I think our mind is like a tree with endless branches where all our memories are concentrated and every time we make a memory…a new leaf is created. Where we can choose to pick our memories… from the leaves both big and small… or…when we give the tree a shake… or the wind is strong… some memories just fall. Memories can be unpredictable… some are ephemeral some irrepressible…. Still…it’s nice to know we have a place where they are so accessible
