TURN OFF
At some point
You have to turn off
The internal and external narration
And see what remains
Turn off the news
Turn off the radio
Stop reading the latest reports
Of whatever agenda is current
And cease listening
To the constant babble
From the agitated mind
And see what remains
See how the organism
Quietens and softens
And begins to live
From a deeper
And more natural intelligence
It’s not ignorance
It’s sanity.
