Why Meandering Mind? 

It may be that this gopherhole has that name because I am aging and my 
poor mind tends to wander off in too many directions. It may be that.

I think that I want to convey a sense of the flow of consciousness. The 
imagination wanders to and fro over many landscapes.  To some this is a 
bad thing, it's the monkey mind that needs to be controlled. To others, it 
is a free mind that needs to be followed to find your bliss.

I write this in an attempt to regain things that I have lost. Life's 
challenges have had a way of gnawing out my creative marrow. I do feel 
hallowed out. A great one said that all life is suffering. I think that 
is true. Our monkey mind wants to be satisfied and have good health and a 
little wealth, fantastic dreams, and adventures. These are what make life 
worth living. 

They are also the things we cannot have forever. Those dreams and 
adventures cost us much.

Too morose? I'll have better days.

It's early, 
	the crickets are chirping, 
		and the sun arises. 
Time to sleep.
