Stillness

So still. Nothing moves except a passing thought en route to somewhere without so much as waking a single atom from its drowsy sleep

It truly is fortunate for us that our thoughts cannot be heard. I'll let my meaning rest on that sentence. I'm sure you comprehend, Paul.

I get those - I try and shush them like they do in the library but end up with more aggro than if I'd let them drift by half registered. You go your way and I'll go my way thoughts in the night... (Too many sweets plus two walnut whips, I'm half sugar at this point.)

The trick is not to hang on to anything...they leave no wake or disturbance then. Thanks DD....take care.

I don't mind too much when they pass as long as they don't cut me off. That sorta pisses me off. A good one, Paul.
