The Thought of an Idea

I am a kid at the beach playing in the sand. This visit is nothing like a vacation, but a common occurrence for a Floridian family. And like any good Floridian parents, mine have supplied me with various plastic tools so I can play in the sand. I pause my play in order to observe a younger child experiencing the wonders of a sandy beach for the first time. There are two distinct ways to play in the sand: one chaotic, one systematic. I witness the child discover all of the properties of sand through chaotic play. He pushes his hands in the sand, grabs handfuls of it only to witness it slip out of his fingers, throws the remaining in the air, and eventually succumbs to the urge to eat it. I see the child in the act of discovery, testing the aspects of sand and drawing conclusions.

I turn to my patch of sand, tools at my side, and stare at a complex castle. What is the difference between the younger child and myself? I have discovered the idea. I don’t remember my first encounter with an idea, but I know it is what influenced me to create a sand castle.

I am twenty-four years old, sitting at a table outside of a coffee shop. I have notes written in a notebook and I am reviewing then. Some notes are about web development clients, some are figures for a small recording studio I want to start, and the rest are thoughts about the timing of an anticipated marriage proposal. I am starting a web development business with a friend, I have plans for a recording studio, and I am in love. I am also poor but cannot put the energy into caring.

A lot of things have changed in my life, but none of them fundamental. A lot of things have changes about myself, but none of them fundamental. I have discovered this by identifying the changes, then discarding them from my main focus. The result is the core by which I define myself. This definition starts with the thought of an idea, the thought being the mechanical action of my brain and the idea being raw information. This raw information has no physical properties yet is in every physical thing in the universe. It is present at all time, yet it is only perceivable when thought upon.

Creation is the act of materializing raw information. A person has the thought of an idea and creates a physical model with it. Ideas are spiritual in the sense that they are immeasurable, nonphysical, and mysterious. The entirety of ideas can be thought of as a library, organized much like an actual library. Having an idea is much like visiting this library and finding certain information in a specific location. Once discovered, it can be translated into something physical.

I am a creator. I marvel at the concept of taking a nonphysical idea and converting it into something I can interact with. This act grows like an addiction. I used to create because it seemed like magic, but now I create to lead people to the same idea I initially discovered. This desire to create has led me in some interesting paths. I have fallen in love with recording because I get to share my ideas in recording and mixing, while the artist is sharing their music with me. The collective thoughts between the artist and engineer produces a music that fulfills the desires of all parties involved.

The TL community has captured my attention because it is run by the thought of an idea. It is built and sustained by individuals with grand ideas and the passion to materialize them. It is not about the money or the fame; it is about the act of creation.

Many thanks for the warm welcome,
darunia

Thats a lot of word to say something relatively simple. Writing is nice though.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Woah cool read. You should make this into a series of vignettes. It would be a good essay.
