Following Our Schemata

Thinking
So totally understated
And yet necessary oftentimes when
The heart cannot be in charge

Idea making
So diverse 
Because of the differences
In our appearances, and
Thus our experiences

Expecting
The worst or the best
Depending upon what
Has already happened to us

Thinking
Expecting
Predicting
Anticipating

The shoe drops oftentimes
The direction we expect to see it drop.
Fresh start.

New chance.
So hard when we use our thinking
Brain to figure out things ahead of
Time based on prior knowledge of
What has gone on before…..

the brain burns so much energy that it's inertial preference is toward a relaxed state...just as the body often avoids an exercise walk, jog, or flight
