I have a question, a thought rather
At night, my thoughts consume my being. Clustered thoughts, scattered emotions. Scary, bad thoughts. Anxious worrisome thoughts. Thoughts.. perhaps provoked by a series of events- leading to a collection of anxious emotions.. Which in turn spawn thoughts.
If actions effect thoughts, then can my thoughts provoke action? ..seems ridiculous to question it. All action is born of thought, or ideas rather. Conscious and subconscious alike, every thought moves us to partake in life. Even this breath you are taking, right now, was a subconscious thought. So then.. If I am breathing, because I thought to do so, what will holding my breath trigger me to think?
To breathe.
A cycle I suppose. Better tested the chicken or the egg theory, as to which came first. The thought, or the action? The idea, or the emotion?.. And what does it mean? And if it all means nothing, why did I write it? Why did I think it?
I wonder if all our minds think this way at night.. wondering around aimlessly. Picking up thoughts and skipping them across your attention. Playfully tapping your interest between skips. Causing you to think about them, to wonder of them. But so soon as you hold a thought, its gone, another thought sitting in its place.
Sleep harbors so many of my thoughts. Things I never thought to think of. But if they were in my dream, were they already thought of without being noticed? ..a memory perhaps.. Or what if I don’t produce my dreams at all? Perhaps I only access them once I’ve reached a state of exhaustion. But if they aren’t my thoughts I think while dreaming, who’s are they? Are they mine once I wake? After I’ve began to think of them, then surely they are my thoughts.. But where did they originate?
