Doors of Perception

The zest to blog that finally broke free yesterday seems to have sustained within me and has egged me on to come up with another piece today. I was pondering over what to come up with and it so happens that today is Jim Morrison’s birthday as well as John Lennon’s death anniversary - ironic that the birth of one legend should coincide with the death of another. Jim Morrison famously once said “There are things known and things unknown and in between the doors”. A short sentence loaded with tons of significance.

Last evening was consequently a salutation to the genius of Jim Morrison. I decided to go on a long late evening drive on my bike with “The Doors” loaded on and the evening turned out to be one that I would not forget for quite a while. The impact the music had on me was profound and I forgot for a while what was happening and got transported to this place where all that surrounded me was emptiness and the sound of inspired music flowing from the soul of the geniuses. The resultant impact was felt in today’s work – a much relaxed, stress free approach with more music through the day and here I am writing this piece.

As I bring to an end the proceedings at work, I will head out to complete my day with the set of routine activities, which the human brain requires to keep peace but the mind revolts against. It is this constant battle between brain and mind that disturbs the inertia in the human body.

How the rest of the evening is going to unfold I do not know, but I do know that the transformation happening in my life is accelerating each day and seems to be headed down a long winding path called “the unknown”.
