I Love Not To Think
I
Thinking is over-rated
Thanks to Descartes (No, no thanks Rene!)
"I think, therefore I obsess, tell stories, make fake news."
It is a fact
When a moment of sheer beauty arises -
Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls in Canada ...
We suspend conceptual thought, for perception:
We are awe-struck; a moment of Awe, as in worship ...
So, thinking is separation, division, naming and shaming
II
Science has declared, your body is mostly empty space
Like the universe, black holes, tiny bit of information
Humans are mostly space and some information (1 percent?)
So, suspend thinking ... when I do
I am aware, I am a canvas, that big space,
On which other beings have their shapes, their artistic shapes,
Painted ... If I remain aware, I enhance your lives
(By not thinking, and describing you, of course)
