Disappearing Thoughts

I like sitting quietly and being filled up with thought.

I like to write.

I like putting my thoughts in ink or type or whatever it is that makes them permanent.

If I don’t, I will soon second guess each and every one of them,

and they will all change.

Or worse,

They\'ll disappear forever.

 

Like a cracked, leaky jar, contents gets poured in and then leaks back out.

Useless thoughts scattered across the floor.

Waiting to get mopped up and wrung out.

 

I don’t want to be a leaky thinker.

I’d like my jar of thoughts to be used for something.

So when I get filled up with thought, I\'ll pour it out in writing.

Then I\'ll have another thought...

and then another.

I\'ll add each one to the mess, and mix it around a while.

Before I know it, I’ve made something.

One complete, concrete, meaningful thought,

Made from many small insignificant ones.
