A wandering mind is an unhappy mind.
Without a clear intention, the mind drifts endlessly. Mental states come and go, thoughts flow like an unending stream, pleasure and discomfort ornament our days.
A wandering mind is reactive, restless, easily hooked. Lacking clarity and awareness, insight fails to illuminate our own condition. Freedom to choose, to act, escapes us.
A wandering mind is not present. There are no lights on. No one to listen, no one to respond.
A wandering mind suffers a miserable existence. It longs for peace and contentment. It looks forward to the day that it feels vibrant and alert again.
A wandering mind longs to be a healthy mind. But to be healthy, you must train.
The main point is to do your practice. It takes work, but it is worth it.
Clarify your practice. Let your practice clarify you.
