My mind has been racing for a few weeks now, spinning faster and faster, putting pieces together from my past, dreams for the future, trying to figure out what to do right now. Looking at things from every angle. Everything these days seems so tricky. Relationships. Nothing is going to plan and instead of just riding it like I used to, I’m getting upset that its not going to plan. I don’t know why this change has happened. I used to embrace the unexpected, and get rather bored if it didn’t happen.

The past few days I’ve hit a slump. Just bah! I’m super irritated a lot of the time and overwhelmed by too much stimulus. People bumping into me. People everywhere. Noise. Interrupting thinking questions from everyone. It’s got. to. stop! I’m driving myself crazy and just feeling sad a lot. Sleeping in the middle of the day to get away from the noise, or I don’t know what. Looking for a piece of quiet solitude that I can never find out here. It doesn’t exist and I have lived without it for months, so why it would bother me now, I don’t know. Just sleeping through the middle of an awesome day in my beach clothes! For no real reason that I can put my finger on but lots of little things that have come together in a giant turd cake blocking my mind from all sunlight. Its just stupid.

Mind can never be intelligent – only no-mind is intelligent. Only no-mind is original and radical. Only no-mind is revolutionary – revolution in action.

This mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living – at the minimum. You don’t live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim.

Once you start dropping thoughts, the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises – clean, clear, alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke. That is what awareness is.

Mmmm! Now THAT sounds exactly right. Time to slow down. Trust the process no matter what happens. And just go with the flow!
