The madness in me
imagines
the madness in you
imagining
the madness in me.
Seems our madness
is ONE madness,
not separate madnesses.
Our madness drives us
to pretend we have
separate madnesses.
But it knows otherwise.
You may want nothing to do
with my madness.
But it’s only because
your madness creates it.
I may fall in love
with your madness.
What else might you expect
my madness to do?
My madness is your madness,
which is PERFECT madness.

In the realm of perception, madness is a subjective concept. It is often associated with a departure from conventional thinking or behavior, a disruption of the expected norms. Whether madness exists in this world or if this world is made of madness is a matter of interpretation and perspective.
From one perspective, the diversity of human experiences, thoughts, and behaviors can be seen as a form of madness. The complexities and contradictions of the world can be overwhelming and bewildering, challenging our sense of order and reason. In this sense, madness permeates the fabric of our existence, blurring the lines between what is considered “normal” and what is considered “mad.”
On the other hand, madness can also be seen as a creative force, a source of innovation and breakthroughs. Many visionaries, artists, and thinkers throughout history have been labeled as “mad” due to their unconventional ideas and unconventional ways of expressing themselves. Their madness becomes a catalyst for pushing boundaries and expanding the realm of what is possible.
Ultimately, the existence or perception of madness is subjective. It is shaped by our individual beliefs, experiences, and cultural conditioning. What may be considered madness in one context could be seen as brilliance or inspiration in another.
In the dance of madness and sanity, it is important to embrace the inherent complexity of human existence. Rather than attempting to categorize and define madness, we can acknowledge and appreciate the diversity of human experiences, recognizing that it is within this spectrum that creativity, growth, and transformation often arise.
Newfound Lake, with its tranquil beauty, reminds us that even amidst the perceived madness of the world, there is a profound serenity waiting to be discovered.
