The Classic Chemical Romance

Yeah, I can dig it! And chemicals come in all shapes and sizes. Don't they?

Every time you look up and see something different, the eyes pick up the image and relay signals to the brain via nerve chemicals called neurotransmitters. And then, the images get associated with emotions, memories, and sometimes judgement -- each of which creates a physical effect.

The physical effect is a cocktail of neuro-chemicals with each cocktail being very specific to each experience you encounter, while the ingredients for each cocktail along with their quantities are so unique, that you'd never find the formula in any bar tender's receipe book, especially those experiences with no name.

It makes me wonder!

And chemicals from the outside world can get into that mix, overwhelming nerve cells way beyond the threshold of how one senses normal reality in our every day world.

After a while, the body becomes jaded admitting, "Yeah, yeah, been there, done that, felt that!"

Now, you're taking the long way back home - this time by  foot, because your car ran out of petro on the side of, "Get your kicks on Route 66."

You stick out the thumb that's not being used to carry the empty gas can, and eventually, someone kind  and generous pulls over and gives you a lift (in an ideal world).

Now, there's nothing left to do with all of that, but dialogue it, monologue it, integrate it!

But while it lasts, that experience is your sweet spot, quickly loosing its appeal and effect, because everything evolves ....right?

I was feeling creative after reading your piece. I liked it. Hope you don't mind me expressing my reponse to your thoughtful words here in another pace in order to share this with others.  

So, here's to you Matt with all my love and admiration,
