Problems; life's full of them they arise, no warning. Time for the great search, of mind, that is, and how to do that? Let's see, a walk by the sea away from the city's endless cacophony: sounds good, I mean healthy, really but sound is sound and those thundering waves, rushing up the rocky shore crashing then sucking their drool after: very distracting. I sit long, pondering on cold, wet log deposited here, half buried during a winter's storm, and I watch those green waves roll in, crash and rumble, swish back, foam following. It's just more noise, I think but there seems to be a Voice in this timeless tumult, a specific set of words, a message? Perhaps, yes, and having accepted such possibility I can hear it now. “You can't get away to someplace or somewhere special to do mind searching. Nor is there a special time: it all takes place inside the mind, inside you, and it all takes place all of the time. Are you listening? As long as outside influences distract you, you will never know your mind, never discover the real you, the one born to become not just to be or to exist.” It does not matter now what they say, I know, like it or not, that mind queries are part of every moment and every moment becomes a treasure. |

This really does take me to the physical and mental place in my head. Now I don't think I'll ever be able to get the picture of drool sucking waves out of my head. I've never heard it described this way. I love it. "Its gonna be alright cause I'm okay with me" |
