Noticing the need to get somewhere. The mind’s need to understand. To find a solution. To come to a conclusion. Or to say that the search is not over. To keep talking. Endlessly.
To run away basically from quiet.
Slowly, I found that any need to understand. Including this glorious need to unravel how existence works. And that there is no time etc. Or being curious about how to fix a so called family issue or anything for that matter. Is the same stress.
The same. Stress. Of words. Ideas. Staying in time.
As long as the mind still understands anything. It is still in thought. And anxiety. Because all understanding causes anxiety. Because life essentially requires no words or thought to be. And is neither logical nor linear.
Suddenly, there is no need to know anything. And old habits of words and plans and methods and systems and linkages are not required. And this is not a new understanding. Perhaps just a quiet rest. Or perhaps, how wonderful that there is no need to know or understand what this is after all.
