Spring wind
Dust bites my lungs,
Nibbles on my spirit,
Drags me deep...
Nothing avails - nothing
So in Nothing, I rest,
Fully Alive!

With all the craziness going on in the world right now (and in the heavens, as well!), I think we all know that the same craziness is going on inside us, also.
You know the bumper sticker, "Don't believe everything you think?" I might change the "everything" to "anything," these days.
I, for one, notice that I hold contradictory thoughts and feelings about every news item I see online, every potential crisis that seems to loom in my life, where the best place to live might be in light of what seems to be a rapidly approaching, drastic world change, literally everything - even whether or not I even care anymore!
This is not to say I'm terminally depressed or anything - it's not like that. Moods come and go, as always. It's just that the world of the mind seems to be revealing itself to be an endless cul-de-sac, in a very powerful and complete way, these days.
The alternative? For now, my working hypothesis is to simply notice that fact as it unfolds, maddening as it sometimes is. Whatever arises beyond the mind doesn't seem to be up to me. At least, not right now.
