To think we thought and now what?

We might think but we don’t . Don’t want to think, thinking is too much too hard. When|if we think things, things we don’t understand begin to happen. It seems that if|when we think what we think becomes what is true as though a thought|our thoughts make what is — happen more, happen at all.

First whatever it was , wasn’t but then thought of it is. Just sudden is. And that’s not exactly a good thing as I|we|they|them|us don’t think particularly well. Don’t have particularly good thoughts.

It is not that we know how to clearly think.

Constantly interrupted by outside ~ things, things outside us things that we somehow thought were important to have and now … captured we think we are in control yet keep discovering all these new things to think of and our|my|the house is filling up.

Of course thoughts don’t take up a lot of space — you’d think that they would take practically no space at all. Thoughts like that are an example.

Each one takes just a smidge more, each smidge builds to a smudge to well, until there’s a living room full of thoughts and no more room for the piano you thought you might like to learn how to play.

Buried under other thoughts you can’t even open the lid, in fact do you think you can find it?, oops yet another.

That’s one of the problems with any kind of thinking, thought just sort of slip out unexpectedly, and there they are.

It’s often up to us to stop thinking and that is not something I|we|they|them|us learned to do. There was a great deal of emphasis on repressing thinking for yourself but repression does not teach techniques to enable — no thought.

So what to do?

NO stop don’t think of an answer! That was rhetorical and needed no response or thinking, shouldn’t have inspired even idle curiosity.

Have you seen the bathroom?

It’s full of that.

It’s like taking a showed in a bathtub full of those yellow ducks.

Idle curiosity doesn’t feel good and I worry I’m going to slip and fall.

Thankfully worry doesn’t seem to be a thought. Don’t know why, seems like worry requires some thought but I refuse to think about that.

Which is a relief when you think about it.
