Idle Mind

 

Contemplate ideas, issues, and truth. Contemplate life's dedication and utter ruse. Contemplate contemplation within the hours of the moon. Stretching your mind... 

or attempting to. 

Because tonight... 

Tonight you're tired. Tonight, your mind doesn't want to wander or roam. 

Probably to be contained? Or perhaps entertained?

So, by flickering light you try to fill your mind with wise words to inspire. Because that's what we are suppose to do. But only one line resonates with your heart this time...

"And bring no book, for this day
We'll give to idleness"

Yes, I believe we will. 

Thank you
