Today was a mood that would have blended seamlessly with California. I felt loopy, sleeping and eating in odd, erratic patterns- a benevolent and well-intentioned mental laziness. My skin was prickly for a bit of sun and my lips constantly chapped.
That talk I went to a few weeks ago? The other thing that has remained lodged in my brain is something John said about the state of the conscious mind when the unconscious is harvesting something significant (an idea, a realization, etc). Much like when you injure one specific part of your body and all energy and sensations seem to flood to that area, the same is true of the mind’s duality. When one layer is working in overdrive to give breath to something previously unexamined, the other layers often become tired, formless and flabby.
Regardless of accuracy, it’s a nice sentiment for these days when my brain has reduced itself to immobility where it was previously turning somersaults.
