Use your brain

Random thought:

By the time a person reaches the age of 80, the brain weights about 7% less than it did in young adulthood.

The number of synaptic contacts decrease. Thus your brains capacity to process information also decreases.

That is so.

I like to swim, and fly through my clear medium. I like the chill of being renewed. I like the lightness of the wispy air as droplets run down my standing legs. I don't move fast at all sometimes. Sometimes I like to lay on my back and stare at the stars. On cold nights I can see my breath dance about the warmed air of the water. I like the way the water traces the curves of my nose and eyes as a light wave topples over my face. I like the silence of down below; where my ears feel tight and the world above just blurred aliens. I like all these things and that is so.

Morning fresh and crisp like fine crystal snow, early enough to bid farewell the night. Music to the newborn ear, untainted by the sound of angry machines. Perhaps a walk in the garden or bath in the sea. That is the way I like my mornings, no computer, no television and that is so.

Midday sun will come and go, a nice cool place beneath a vine, food to share with a trusted friend, and shadows with which to play hide and seek.

Autumn leaves, and a colourful ballet - my black and white gown of mimes and grace; that is my ideal afternoon. The evening to follow would have lindt chocolate, a hugging warm shower, soft pjs and a fireplace. That would be my perfect day; believe me sir, as this is so.

I like smiling and telling stories. I like listening more I think. Listening is good with old friends because you don't need to try and raise your brows or crinkle your forehead at all the cues. I can listen simply and not have to worry about whether or not to blink or stare.

I like music and dancing with composers. I like shouting their arguments and crying their tears. I like their bouyoncy and delightful cleverness. I like being clever too.

I like to love and care and live. But most of all I like being with you.

So this is to liking and loving and loving some more, for it's who I am and that is so.
