"Tis the great art of life to manage well
The restless mind."
~ John Armstrong ~
It would be disturbing at best to hear the thoughts inside everyone's head. The constant, insistent inner chatter is noisy, chaotic, and sometimes downright mean. We are little oligarchs inside our minds, snapping orders, declaring laws, pardoning and condemning others, and understanding the real meaning behind everything.
We solve the problems of the world.
And it's exhausting.
And if we can quiet the noise down, there is peace.
So let's make quieting that noise down a priority in our lives.
I hear the thoughts that arise in my mind and do not attach to them.
I let them pass by like clouds.
