thinking

thinking is a natural next step for mankind

is how it seems to me


thinking one knows is a serious misstep

is how it seems to me


it is not a real word


mind is not a way of thinking

mind is a way of being

as is life


my first experience of passive mind

or maybe the first i remember

was about the word anger


i could not speak of what that word was

i didn't have words for that experience

which i had experienced so often


but i persevered for a few days

just waiting to see what would happen

if i just kind of kept that word on the screen


what happened was "self pity"


and i finally recognized what anger was
