Is it in your mind?
Is it formed of words and images?
Does it describe a problem?
Does it solve a problem?
Does it make you feel some kind of emotion?
It is a thought.
Man’s favorite toy.
Man discovered thinking
is much fun,
making life easier because
thoughts
make
objects.
And it was true.
Man created many tools,
including systems
of organizing people,
to ease their living.
And it was good.
Now, man discovers that
too many tools,
too many systems,
too many thoughts,
make life harder.
Playing with thoughts
needs adjustment.
A great garage sale is open.
Man learned a lot,
especially where to find
right thoughts.
Most old thoughts and tools
are unnecessary now,
ready to be passed on
to those who need them.
Some, not easy to let go of
because emotional attachment.
And yet …
Now man discovers
a clear space
to start over.
“What would be
wonderful
now?”
