Over the past couple months, Ive been spending a tremendous amount of mental energy on thinking, planning, scheming, and organizing a number of projects. Its all creatively fulfilling, but Ive been finding myself exhausted by all the cerebral activity. Last night, I went outside to take a break from thinking, and noticed that I was hardly able to stop! The constant mental effort became a burden, but all of a sudden I remembered that I DO have the capacity to let go of the thinking mind (to some extent, at least). In an instant my head relaxed, and I embraced the stillness of the night. I recently spent a couple years living at an ashram in California, where I meditated for several hours a day. Since moving to Birmingham, Ive gotten caught up in all the thises and thats of non-ashram life--losing the meditative muscle I had been blessed to develop. I promised myself last night that I would think less, and I highly recommend yall do the same. Well have more room up in our little heads for faith and feeling. Chill on that, homies!
