My Memory Garden
My Memory Garden
There has been extensive research on the brain and its many functions. It has been found that specific areas of the brain control specific functions. For the past two days I have thought about the area that stores our memories, and call it my memory garden.
In it, each memory has it own space, is visual, audible, and filled with our reactions to it. I can go into my memory garden, spend time with all the people I have known, and relive the time spent with them down through the years. I can see them as they were when young and as they aged with the passage of time; also, hear the tones of their voice and the emotions they expressed.
I can visit the places I have been in the past. Even though time has brought changes it cannot alter what is recorded there. Some remain as beautiful and pleasant as I knew them. Others are cold, desolate and are filled with the pain and grief I experienced there.
There has been untold millions of dollars spent on the exploration of space and many new discoveries made and stored in the memory garden. To me, the greatest unexplored area is that of the mind, without which we could not explore and learn anything.
