Narrative Stickiness

Sometimes I watch a single snowflake falling through the sky and, for the moment I am tracking it, it seems to have its own life and a story line that I am unwilling to abandon as the snowflake disappears into the rest of the snow. I feel a faint sadness as I turn towards other things and other activities. I think the reason for this is that energy was spent creating a topic instance for the snowflake and this instance gets orphaned quickly and our "system" is not set up to do that and wants to conserve energy.
