My thoughts are not me

My thoughts are not me. They came from the mountain of thoughts and flow down through the river of thoughts. Usually I sit by the river and watch them. When I like what I see, I pick some thoughts up. That's when my thoughts become me. I can also put things down. The river of thoughts will continue to flow down with thoughts--the thoughts that are not me.

Sometimes the river's current is not steady nor predictable, even though that's what The National Geographic Society says about currents. When the thoughts move fast and in high volumes, it is hard to just sit by and watch. They splash and form waves, breaking as they got to me. On ill-fated days I got drenched in thoughts that I didn't pick. It takes some time to dry my clothes.

Still, my thoughts are not me. Instead, let's talk about the thoughts that I pick. Let's talk about why I pick them.

I will have to prepare my answers. I am happy to. Let me get back to you.
