On Thoughts
i really wish i could turn my brain off sometimes while commuting. i've found that playing computer games effectively distracts me in that "calgon take me away" sort of way, but while driving... that's probably not such a good idea. i do, however, find myself in a bit of a driving hypnosis from time to time finding myself some 40 miles from home, but right were i need to be. safe and sound. ok, more safe than sound.
in a recent commute as things raced through my head, i again said to myself, i wish my mind could just quiet down. i really was quite frustrated as a variety of things raced in and out. sometimes related, sometimes not. some were pleasing, some upsetting, and then it struck me.
i don't have thoughts anymore. thoughts have me.
