Though most of our thoughts
Address specific subjects
Revolving around the practicalities of life
Including the pragmatism and necessities thereto
Some among us have found the time and means
To escape from those realities
For brief moments in their otherwise busy life
Being thus carried aloft from the mundane
Reflecting upon the luxury
Of their most fondest wishes, dreams and hopes.

It is my fervent desire that you too
Engage in the luxury of random thoughts
Be it while on a stroll in an Alpine meadow
Seated in a plane high above the clouds
Perhaps on a Park Bench under a shady tree
Or just before resting your weary body from the day
Let your imagination roam as far, as wide as possible
There are no limitations
Follow those random thoughts, do not impede them
Nay, do not shackle them with earthly cares
See where they will take you, follow them through
If need be to the ends of the Universe
Soon you will feel as relaxed and refreshed
As never before as you permit your mind
To explore the inner world of random thoughts.
