Oh absence,
I long for you
your simplicity
your freedom
your utterly,
un-self-aware,
vacancy
Envisioning
a blank slate,
I idealize you
when the monkey mind
is jacked
as if
on amphetamines,
when the pace
won’t slow
even
in sleep
in sleeplessness
I cannot say
how it is
that I have never
thought of you,
of your good fortune,
like this before
But today
dear absence of mind
you are my hero
the object of my envy,
my longing
for peace.

I get this. 🧠 Brains are wild.
Yes. Like yours, mine broke recently and is in repair and awaiting surgery… your posts about your stroke are so relatable and strangely comforting to me – thank you.❤
I’m rooting for you 🙂🙌🏽
