Tumblings of a rumbling mind (or is it the other way round?)

I went on a calming walk  and upon finding a quiet spot, sat down to unravel the musings of my subconscious. The ambiance had a calming effect. The dark sky above my head lighted by the last rays of the dying sun, the stony road beneath my covered feet and the low rumbling noise of a train moving on to its destination.......

It was still not night, not many stars were visible. The nude wooden branches formed a mesh over my head, dividing the sky into uneven sections.

One sole glittering star looked back at me. I stared at it too for some time. "I've been here much longer." it seemed to say to me. A few more branch sections away, was another glimmering star. Much more farther off was another lone star, blinking silently. The mesh above my head reminded me of the internet.

Meanwhile, a little family of dogs came over, not very far from where I was; a mamma dog, with its two puppies. The mamma dog was startled to find an unexpected being in its usual locality.It looked at me with dumbfounded eyes, and trotted off, glancing at intervals suspiciously from the corner of her eye.

The oldest puppy was a happy-go-lucky type, or an idiot, it didnt seem to be affected by my presence, and ran off without paying any attention.

The smallest puppy was happily following its sibling, taking steps that grew larger each time with excitement. Finding me, it stopped, shocked, as if it had seen a ghost. With bewildered eyes it looked at me for a few seconds. I smiled at it to encourage it to come to me. The puppy released a low moan in reply.

Was it trying to sympathize with me?

No, the poor puppy was scared, scared of me. It was funny to see the creature, standing on its four, rooted to its spot, stricken with fear, of me.

Its moans were heard by its family, and they stopped and turned their heads in the pup's direction, trying to analyse the cause of its sudden moaning.

Then they accompanied the little pup probably to some other more comfortable place, after the mamma dog gave me one last suspicious glare.

The incident seemed to lift up my mood and I stood up smiling. Some how it made me sad too. I was happy because I could find something funny. Sad because, I was doubting my sanity.

The lamposts on the road seemed to glow brighter, may be with relief, to see me head back to reality.

It is said that everything in this world is connected. I touched the leaves of a drooping tree. Just in case its true.
