The old man watching the sky, tells me he has spent all his nights counting the stars. I call him foolish, and head out to sleep. In my dreams I see my future. I curse the moon as its brightness obstructs me from finishing the count of stars!
Could you please explicate the hidden meaning behind this.
ReplyDeleteThe meanings of our dreams are never explicitly known! A story of magical realism could mean many things to many people. One interpretation is that what we think unworthy today (like how the act of counting the stars is thought to be foolish by the narrator in the above post) may actually catch up with us in the future or we ourselves might get passionate about it. Who knows what hides in the womb of time? Maybe, the narrator wonders in his own way about the uncertainty of time.
DeleteThank you for the reply...
Deletewhat i perceived is : People are wasting time by doing unsure things..
Then why does they do so??
Well, I don't think unsure things (if we choose to call them so) lead to waste of time. I am of the opinion that, out of chaos and confusion can arise clarity. So the unsure things can even lead to self discovery! It all boils down to our perception.
DeleteIt is nice to know that different interpretations are being born out of the little post:)
Rendering always differs :), and each time it differs too....
Deletewell, i was in confusion :) ..
Thank you for making it clear that the things which we feel foolish, in future we might be interested to do the same..
>> unsure things can even lead to self discovery!(good one)
