Settling the Mind

Little mind wanders. It jumps from tree to tree. It spins stories like yarn until it is enclosed on all sides.

Big mind rests. It is open as the crisp night sky in autumn. Eternal and accepting, it tolerates little mind with a knowing smile.

Life is an ebb and flow between Little and Big mind. Diligent practice is our route to rest and stability. Distraction nudges and attracts the Little mind… Leap! Big mind laughs and soaks up some warm afternoon sun.
