Hello Darkness My Old Friend

These thoughts are pretty off the cuff.

I've been trying not to think about this country, and the state it's in.

But I've been trying not to think about a lot of things.

It takes a lot of energy...trying not to think about things.

It tends to lead to thinking about things.

The thing is, this is true regardless of what your things are.

This is the American mind. It overconcentrates on everything. 

Fixation is its prime directive.

What do we do about this?

I'm not even sure.

Just take another breath, and then another after that.

And you're good.
