Letting my brain off its leash...
Jan. 27th, 2003 11:27 amPeople have made a joke before of 'I let my mind wander and it didn't come back'. I've never really had that experience. In my case, it's more like 'I let my mind wander and it eventually came back covered in mud, wagging its tail furiously, and dragging what looked suspiciously like the arm of the Swamp Thing in its teeth, plus I'm pretty sure I heard the roar of the arm's owner somewhere in the distance'. One prominent example is that of the time when I was sick and formulated a fairly coherent hypothesis linking the universality of the human religious impulse to the probable evolutionary origins of the human species as scavengers. (Look! A powerful thing that can smite me dead has gone off and left me food! And it has killed my enemies! I must make nice to it!) That being said, I'm currently having the urge to take the tether off and see what it comes up with.
