THE COURAGE OF A QUIET MOMENT
November 20th, 2023 | San Francisco, CA
Eclectic.
I enjoy the word. A myriad of flavors. An open mind. An open heart? Maybe.
I’m pushing towards that, towards many things. I find myself in search of my “true mind”. The one unburdened. The one free. I ask myself, often, if such a thing even exists. And if it did, would I really even want it?
What is mind, untroubled by thoughts, unburdened by questions?
Quiet. Peaceful. Mmm… Maybe.
But would such a mind thrive? Would it develop? Maybe my “true mind” is a thing that does not need to be sought. Maybe, it is a thing that slumbers, only occasionally awake to peruse, to question, to observe.
It needs but the courage of a quiet moment.
The willingness to unfurl, despite the noise brought about by the swarm of thoughts I keep at bay.
Maybe that’s all I need; a quiet moment and a little courage.
