The Pond

I read somewhere that the mind is a pond, and that your thoughts are stones.

The constant buzz of work, health, politics, social networking, entertainment, relationships, and daily life attack the modern mind. At times, one cannot see past the chaotic wake that the barrage of thought leaves behind.

....Take a moment every now and then, to let go of control and slow down....

Only then can you see the effect of your conscious thoughts; how they react to the surface, how deep they go.

Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?
