As we move...

Our minds get lost. Or at least mine does, and I can only assume that others have a similar problem...

Being absorbed by whatever feeling, action, attraction, infatuation etc etc...

The truth of the matter is: over-stimulation

We are over-stimulated by life and all that surrounds us and gets in our way of simply "paying attention"

Have you ever noticed that, in the dark, we can hear things so clearly? As if sound is moving slower and louder than it normally does.
Without light, making us unfairly aware of every tiny detail around us (over-stimulation), we can concentrate on the surrounding sounds. I love that. I love the way our mind takes a journey in the dark. Getting itself lost in the days events. Allowing us to analyze and revisit conversations and ideas. Turn the lights on and that sound and that journey dissipates and gets blended in with the landscape.

Don't get me wrong. We shouldn't spend all of our time in the dark. The sun is painfully aware of this. But every once in a while. Turn out the lights and listen to what is happening around you. Let your mind wander and visit the important details that may have been overlooked because of over-stimulation. Create something out of the sound around you. Make music with the manifestation of a moment you didn't know existed! Let the soul appreciate the sun like it never has before...

But more importantly

Erase...if only for a moment...

All of the noise and technological keepsakes we fully depend on. All of the stores and clothes that scream hip. All of the fast food and fast cars and fast people that hand you shit and stones...

and allow your senses to dis-embrace and function on a fundamental level.

smell...
see...
hear...
taste...
and speak...

My mind gets lost.
