The path of a mind ought to be at least as rich as the path of man. While a man can only walk in the present in a form of a human being, a mind can flow form free, revisit the days, places, laughters and loves of old; hop towards hopes, dreams, and scout and pathfind the future; ski in lands and realms otherwise impossible, seeking out alien flora, fauna, peoples and cultures.
Imagination is at least as interesting as reality – is what some may feel compelled to say. But perhaps it is just as valid to think of imagination as a special category of reality, an intangible extension categorically exclusive to an individual.
And yet, there are bridges from one imagination to another. Language, in its broadest definition, is this bridge. And we have tools today, which amplify the language aurally and visually – written word, film production, social media platforms such as facebook, emoticons etc.
Returning to the path of a mind, I might remind us that this very passage, is by its own virtue one passage of one mind.
