Monkey Mind

Yet, we take our river of thoughts and memories lightly. We fail to value our thoughts and memories, as we live our day-to-day lives. Thought monkeys deliver our thoughts and memories whenever we need them. When we are saddened, we receive happy memories to help us through difficult times in life. When we achieve successes in life our thought monkeys store these thoughts in our caves of treasured memories, which they transport in their canoes down the river of thoughts and memories. There are some minds which have not been enriched enough to recognize and create ideas when they pass them by. However, these minds have the ability to spot "golden ideas" either in the written or spoken word and to claim them as their own. A poacher of ideas is unable to breathe life into an idea that was created in the mind of another individual. Our thought monkeys are shaped by us from the time of our birth and they keep evolving over time and they gradually enrich our minds with the most colorful and vibrant ideas, which are beneficial for our imagination and creativity. The painting is more than just a work of art it is an artistic form of creative expression and speaks volumes about the mind and the genius of the man himself. The beauty of having and nourishing an active imagination is that the ideas do not stop, they continue to leap out at you when you least expect them. The simplest object, sight, or sound can develop and transform itself into the most ridiculous idea which may be illogical but with a slight tweak and twist it could develop and morph into an object or invention which could transform the history of mankind forever, like the Law of Energy or the Law of Gravity.
