A Fleeing Thought

The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word flee as "to run away, as from trouble or danger." It also defines flee as "to pass swiftly away; vanish."

People flee all the time from all manner of dangers: fires, people with weapons, large angry dogs, etc. Thoughts can flee as well. They flee their maker, the ones with the dangerous minds, the ones with minds that ain't hooked up right. Thoughts make their escape from the mind and into the ether. Thoughts sometimes form themselves into spoken words, and sometimes become printed words. Occasionally these words forms sentences that may be pearls of wisdom or they may be non sequiturs spouted forth from a deranged hermit.

A fleeing thought looks to escape danger, hoping to find safe harbor when absorbed into the intellect of one who lives in rooms where the walls are not padded.

Blog thoughts are fleeing thoughts. Posted by a crazy diamond, they pass swiftly away. They vanish. There. There's your fleeing thought for today.

Better the thoughts flee the deranged hermit than they all camp inside his cranium & send him packing to the nearest belltower with a few shotguns and an uzi. :)
