148. monkey mind
after spending days with the hanuman langirs, i question the old cliché
a monkey’s mind is more calm and present than a frantic human’s mind caught in the rat race (i question that one too)
it is the human mind that is typically always jumping from one thought to another
getting stuck in the past, or worrying about the future, one is unable to attain stillness
but if you remain in the present moment, your thoughts and actions become clear, calm, collected
love, light and joy then come to you, emanate through you, become you
love is what you really are
everything else is an illusory obstacle
let the illusion go
let love in
