I wish my mind was still 
but it is constantly rattling like rusty chains, 
grasping at the cardboard packages of each day
that life hands me. 
My brain cannot stop its ability to search and scan
everything
in an attempt to understand
the dark colony of thoughts
that plague my peace,
causing me to lose time,
and crunch time
together all at once.
How my life, and your life, and their life
fits together, 
perhaps I'm not meant to know. 
but I have a hunch
this is exactly the way
it's supposed to be.

Some truth in that hunch. Didn't Epictetus say that we should wish for things to be as they are and we would never be disappointed?

I love that... wish for things as they are. There is some safety in that for sure.

if your brain is scanning everything, one would hope there are bright thoughts helping you find peace, as well? I get it though...it's sometimes hard to feel that we're meant to see the bigger picture in the moment, only come to terms with what we've lived through after the fact.
