The Thoughtless Mind

As in not thoughtful or reflective

falling for unfree thinking
the thinking that does not go
with you being in your body
first and foremost
but that you never be
where you gotta be
which is your birthright
but here is the funny thing
the thoughtless-mind promises
that by giving into unfree thinking
it will finally provide the“thing”
that helps you to be
in your body breathing and alive
open and receptive to life
as if day-dreaming will
help you be in reality.

“He lived at a little distance from his body, regarding his own acts with doubtful side-glances. He had an odd autobiographical habit which led him to compose in his mind from time to time a short sentence about himself containing a subject in the third person and a verb in the past tense.”

― James Joyce
