It's said by some that thoughts just kind of...come. They flood our field of focus, our inner ear, our inner eye, constantly awash in an open faucet flood. But the thing about thinking is that you can choose—not what thoughts may come, but which thoughts to adopt, to nurture, to raise by your focusing light and mantra song of care. From here, the rest shall flow down easy, like drops of meditative water falling from the fountain spout to this basin—good speech —to that greater pond—good deed—where the ripples of that nurtured thought do emanate like life-giving light to the teeming life awaiting your blessing fro waiting lilies and resting rocks
