A reminder that when thoughts come into your head
they are just flying through.
They are not from you,
they are from somewhere else.
They are not meant to live in us
even if we think they do.
Like clouds passing over our heads,
they are meant to leave us.
We are the beautiful, clear blue sky behind the clouds.
When we glance at the clouds,
we can’t even tell that they’re moving,
but if we look closely
and focus,
you notice it.
It’s the same thing with our thoughts.
We think that they stay in our bodies,
that they live in us.
But they’re only wind.
Only air.
And we are meant to let them go.
