Talking to myself…

When was the last time that you talked to yourself, seriously? I personally know people that mutter and even some that loudly talk to themselves , but not a lot that actually reply to them self I think.

A stray thought pronounces that dialogue is the highway to wisdom, but would such a conversation actually be considered as one?

And thus it seems, from the example above it may well not. Then again I have never been a good example of normal. I do remember well the last time I talked on a toy telephone and relayed the conversation to my enthralled friends, all the while following the caller with the occasional  “are you serious!?” or “I would love to hear more…”.

It was a silly lark at the time, but later I somehow felt that it was a performance that portrayed more than just a mindless act of humour. That by talking to myself I had managed to transcend some rule of space and time to tap into something that was very funny at the time, but also in some way sublime…

But I do not have a lot of experience in this curious art of inner communication. Then again perhaps I do! I only express it on paper.

How do you do?
