“Sleep in your minds eye”

With your mind’s eye you can hold images in your mind, these can be fanciful or actual images. With your mind’s eye you can create shapes, manipulate them and build insightful pictures only you can see. But what if one day you wake up with some sleep in your mind’s eye?


I’ve been told, by a 5 year old, that my mind’s eye is a rectangular shape and that it’s brown. Except when there is sleep in it, then it’s grey, until you wipe it away that is, then it’s back to brown and able to visualise the cosmos or a pterodactyl eating soup.


Now I know a brown rectangular mind’s eye sounds pretty cool, but not when you hear that your wife has simultaneous round, square, and rectangular mind eyes and they are all silver. Suddenly old flat brown seems pretty pedestrian.


This child for reference has 3 mind’s eyes, one each of a rectangle, a circle and a triangle, silver, silver, silver. Just think of the mental vistas you could enjoy with those sparkly beauties. Just as long as you don’t get that pesky grey sleep in the bottom corner of your triangle eye.


It’s a good thing all you need to clear your mind’s eye is a small gentle hand across the forehead and deep compassionate love.
