Thinking. Why does thinking tend to take a back seat most of the time. I mean, WAY back there. BASICS in the back seat please. Like you're sittin' on the couch watchin' MTV and you throw your brain under the reclinable chair. Why do we subject ourselves to mindless videos created by high school flunkies. What kind of life is that. I mean, this is when your brain just says, "Woh! What is going on. USE ME!!!" So by then you have turned off the mindless television set and taken your butt off of the couch. You walk to the backyard and lay down in the freshly trimmed grass. Now this is more like it. You take a good look on the inside to refelect on the life that has been given to you. You wonder if you are the way you are because a) you have had things happen to you. or you are the way you are because of b) your reactions to life as it happens. You wonder why that big fluffy cloud looks like the mailman and you wonder who painted the sky that lovely shade of blue. By now you have forgotten about MTV and mindless videos and you have gotton back to the basics and put them in the DRIVERS SEAT. Some of life's most prescious moments happen when you sit back and THINK. Gettin' your intellectual mojo flowin'. Now thats what I call a good time.

...and what I just read really made me think. Thanx for waking me up to the rut we sometimes let ourselves fall into. Nicely done. ------------------ Sunny |
