Day 189 - Autopilot

AUTOPILOT
 
My thoughts are
all over the place.
I flit from one
thing to another.
 
But I’ve learnt to go with this,
and not become too engaged
in any one thought.
But to flit onwards.
 
For me, reflection or contemplation
are not about breathing techniques
 or trying to empty
my brain of all thoughts.
 
Rather, they are about meandering,
and using the thoughts
that come long,
simply as stepping-stones.
 
For if I am patient
and sit here,
I will get to
where I should be.My thoughts are
