As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time - Now it was to be Georgie the general, saying what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless greeding bulldog. But suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones, and that the oomny ones use like, inspiration and what Bog sends. Now it was lovely music that came into my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on, and I viddied right at once what to do.

The narrator reflects on a moment while walking by the marina, feeling outwardly calm yet consumed by thoughts. He contemplates the dynamics of control, where Georgie takes charge as the leader while Dim follows blindly. This scenario leads him to realize that overthinking is for those who lack true insight, and it's the inspired, enlightened individuals who align with what life brings them.

In that moment of revelation, he finds clarity through the beautiful music emanating from an open window, guiding him on what action to take. This symbolic encounter with music becomes a source of inspiration, helping him transcend his previous doubts and embrace a more intuitive approach to life.
