No Mind

Editor's Note: Originally written April 2018, this poem was partially inspired by this classic movie scene

No Mind

Too many minds
Mind on relations
Mind on work
Mind on fear
Mind on pleasure
Too many minds

Not every thought the mind serves is worth something

Why is thought-ful the status quo?
Why counter thought with thought?
When feeling small, remember you're vast, unique
When feeling big, remember you're a universal speck
Too much thought

I have another way:
No mind

It's existence, not merely dwelling in existence
Not watching a swimmer in a vast clear blue ocean
It's plunging in yourself

No internal dialog
No evaluation
Just being with a capital B
No mind
