As meditation deepens, I have come to the conclusion that
a notebook and pen is the antidote
for the 'fast' mind;
for with the pen and the paper — mind slows down to
one activity — writing — and even then —
when I look at my handwriting —
I can tell by the way I write if my mind is
fast/slow
energized / de-energized;
so I need to keep doing this writing —
not just copywriting from books
but also writing on my thoughts —
just like I'm doing now —
The activity may not sound be deep — or sound - or even escapist
point is not that —
point is about just writing — to slow my mind down
and get it into meditative
mode — of thought process —
