25/5 - Mind is a Thief

The mind is a thief. 

It steals from us, precious sights, like  swinging palm trees, half a glass of steaming coffee, a brightly colored pack of UNO cards. 

Instead, it drowns us in itself. Absorbs our attention into pointless pursuits. 

Often, my morning are perturbed by dreams, of people and places I now miss. That fills a certain dissatisfaction, a certain ungratefulness for every beautiful moment of wakefulness. 

Thoughts rob us , for their their own gratification, to extend and expand their own existence. They are addictive, enormously seductive if you will. 

The mind is no ordinary thief. She is a con,a temptress. She isn't thieving just to survive, but to thrive at your expense. 

Watch. 

Aum.
