Apophenia is the predisposition (or is it a choice?) to see connections where there aren’t necessarily any. We do it all the time. Most times, it’s benign, other times it can have quite unfortunate results. There seems to be a lot of it about these days and it’s a suitable word for our time. We often do it with song lyrics, too. Even when we get the words wrong, we somehow make it make sense. We believe in balance and reason. We strive for poetry. It’s our instinct to find the connection. Even autofill is a model based on our desire to finish life's sentences for it. Sometimes we go off the rails and autofill with the absurd. Gonzo poetry.
..... speaking of poetry ......
i was Under the Influence on The Day I Fell Down
i must have been out of my brain
But Speaking of Ella, there were Echoes of Never
That fell Like Lavender Rain
Sweet Marianne, invisible Klondike
And silent Sister Silhouette
They're singing in three-part on The Other Side
Badly, of course: They're All Dead
Thanks
Peace and Much Love
