THE FALLACY OF FIGURING

"We think too much, and too morbidly- brood, meditate, become sickly with our own pallid fancies, allowing them to swarm upon us by night and by day..."
~ Walt Whitman ~

We make things into much bigger deals than they actually are by over-thinking about them, 
especially in advance: 
what it's going to be like, 
how important it will be when he reacts or she reacts, 
and how we will respond to their reaction... 
We play it all out over and over in our minds trying to get it right before it even happens.
     And then it happens.
And it's over.
It's rarely ever how we imagined it.
And we go on with our lives.

I trust in the inspiration of the moment to carry me through.
