Description
Sunrise at the jungle river Kwai.
The first lightening has showed up.
The mind almost did not move, a regular mental laziness for the first couple of seconds waking up after a long lasting day of travelling.
And slowly absorbing reality of the new day combined with an absolutely new for me location, recognizing NOTHING familiar Here, everything is unfamiliar and therefore unreal. Probably because it was my first time sleeping on a houseboat.
Wondering throughout channels of perception, "UnReality" did not get any familiar form so far and it became obvious that there is no COLOUR, no SOUND and no SCENT. At all! The air has stopped, frozen like an ice. A water in the river seemed to be harder than metal.
Everything reminded of out-of-this-world decorations, what for?
Not finding any common associations, that made me feel somewhat uncomfortable, then I got relaxed a bit and found that all this view is monochrome and was floating somewhat weirdly.
Maybe that's a different number of frames per second, how and why - these questions weren't appropriate any longer since the sound of a diving water-dragon has destroyed this fragile but established illusion of silence. The rings on the water surface have returned water its liquidity again.
Then the Colour of the dawn started slowly reaching through the white smoke which covers yet nighttime-dark mountains, and the jungles started fully obtaining its familiar greenness, and somewhere is a lighter-warmer shades of a day.
The leaves and bushes slipped away on the water surface towards horizon.
Seemed like everything is understandable, can move on now. But the experience from this location has tightly set deep down me and didn't let me quickly escape from the moment of Here and Now.
Even though this Here has been swapped for something easily understandable and reliable, something about all of it was new and fresh.
Turning around and walking away to my morning life full of routine of the traveller, the last frames were flipping in my mind but not finding a place of common description. By the look of the branches in the water, the stream got faster today then it used to be yesterday ... but now in the opposite direction!
