What If? - Being Read!

It was a cloudy evening and so darkness fell much before its usual time. But it was day enough because of the the huge transparent roof of the KL airport, departure section. I just had finished watching a movie about a witch. The concept was beautiful, the shots were technically mastered and the witch was enchanting. In a scene she saw butterflies where there were none visible to other people and as the camera moved - it was poetry in motion. A very brief but distinct time was given for the shot where a butterfly places itself on her bossom visible through her very low neck.

The travel was having adverse effects on my health and so i was surviving mostly on mugs of hot steaming coffee. As a result the condition of my toungue was not very good and i had acquired kind of an accent (which some would say wild Australian). Coffee-time came again and there i was in the queue for coffee at this shop. My turn came and i should admit the coffee lady was enchantingly beautiful. Dark burgundy hair, and pale white skin ... and i suddenly started "seeing" butterflies all over - one of which, in my mind, flew and placed itself on her bossom. This all happened when i was talking and she was finding it difficult to get my "accent", smiling all the way though.

When I took my coffee and turned suddenly i noticed so many people around and all of a sudden i felt they know what just passed my mind. An old notion came up in my mind - one in which there are people masquerading among us as "normal" people, who can read other people's minds. why not? Afterall, there are so many phenomenon which keep happening all over that remain inexplicable. This may be one of them. People, angels or demons - whatever you call them can know whatever they want to from anyone's mind. They breathe, speak, work and lead lives just like us. Some use their "talent" for their benefit and some dont - i want to think most of them don't (or else the world would be a hugely imbalanced place).

They might have different origins - "from people, as people", "from people as supernatural beings", "from supernatural beings as people", "voluntary/involuntary peopleisation of supernatural beings" - there are many possibilities.

I personally prefer to think they are "punished angels" fully aware of their gift but unaware of their past lives as angels. Early in their childhood they come to know what they had is not common and should never be spoken to anyone. Though feels how a pity it would be for them not being able to share, they come to live with it. I somehow happen to think about it more when i see a looks-imbalanced couple. Though I am fully aware and respect the fact that no one knows why two people fall for each other ! But it may so happen that the cool one would actually read and implement the hot one's thoughts inevitably leading to their coupling. The same thing may happen with a perfectly balance couple depending, again as i said for inexplicable reasons, on their types! Well i prefer most of them are hot as they had been angels before (heehee).

Or say when i am among many strangers and i see a bunch of good looking strangers coming to close talking terms very soon and kind of form an impenetrable group (no pun and nothing sexual intended). And this is exactly what i felt right at that moment as i carried the coffee back to the waiting area - looking at a bunch of beautiful people, who i knew were complete strangers a while back - trying to reflect by questioning their questioning thoughts in my mind. Also thinking, what if the coffee-lady was also a mind reader? Would she smile at me visualizing the butterfly on her the way she did?
