Ripples of Thought


The idea of "Ripples of Thought" is out in the culture now, the thought police have announced that we have a responsibility to produce good thoughts - and I believe this - I want to think good thoughts. I want to drive the car. But as I looked out the window last week, my mind racing with negative ideas, I saw this duck land on the water, and the ripples flowed dramatically out all around Mr. Duck. It really brought my negative thoughts in focus and I reeled, catching myself imagining exactly what I do not want!
Even after years of meditation, consciousness workshops, therapy...I still have trouble controlling my wayward mind!
My personal new year resolution is to, once and for all, train my mind, like a wayward vine, to climb up to my highest potential.
