This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.
Through depths of an unhurried mind
Contemplating thoughts to unwind
Is there more? Or is that all there is?
Questions to ponder, or perhaps dismiss
Allowing and releasing, flowing through
Anxiety fading, feeling brand new
Close your eyes, time passes slowly
Breathing evenly, listening closely
Floating in the stars, now above clouds
No sudden noises, no angsty crowds
Asking yourself, “What do I seek?”
Hearing voices of messages to keep
Limiting beliefs fade, a needed blessing
An intuitive knowing, no longer guessing
Tending to the garden of our own mind
Sleep heals through dreams within time
Coming back from unconscious states
Feeling lighter, releasing weight
Ego dissolution, a calm upon the storm
Letting go, detaching – a way to transform

What does your mind tell you between the states of awake and asleep?

Unfortunately, my mind doesn’t tell me anything in those times, but for those that do hear and see these things, I am sure it is quite compelling.
Beautifully expressed, Laura. A truly divine ride through the ethereal. Outstanding. Thank you 👏👏👏😊😊

Perhaps not in those states, but others which come through very much so in your writing 😊 it doesn’t always have to be in between those states, it’s just easier to access at that time, kinda 😆 now I’m rambling
And thank you, Kevin. 😊 your beautiful image is hard to match up to, sometimes 🙏

Through the depth of an unhurried mind,
Contemplating thoughts to unwind.
Is there more, or is that all there is?
Those lines are intriguing and capture a powerful sense of introspection and existential questioning. The mind is not simply observing but actively unraveling its own complexities.
Thank you for your wisdom and for sharing this as well. It’s so beautiful. Well done.

Also, isn’t it neat how certain lines resonate with certain people? For me, the line ‘Breathing evenly, listening closely’ shifted my whole body. I yawned in a great way. ❤ Thank you.
