What’s a pensieve? Readers and fans of J.K. Rowling’s phenomenal Harry Potter series know well what a pensieve is. For the uninitiated, the pensieve is one of the magical objects owned by Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. It is a stone basin or receptacle covered in mysterious runes with an ephemeral substance within it. Dumbledore uses the pensieve to store memories. He can extract his own memory or someone else’s and store them inside this receptacle. He can then review those memories later and see the events that transpired in an omniscient perspective where he is able to see all the details of what has happened. Dumbledore also uses the pensieve to store information and memories thus relieving his mind when it becomes too burdensome to think about these things.
That’s why I’d love to have a pensieve – to relieve my mind from these endless jumbled thoughts that go haywire in my mind. And since I’m the type of person who just can’t forget rather negative memories, a pensieve will surely help me get rid of these mental detritus. LOL.
But come to think of it, this blog can be my own pensieve. hehe
