Neutral

Have you ever thought really hard, so hard, and you tried to stop but you couldn’t?
Every thought or image in your mind seemed to only lead down even more deeply
into the caverns of the blue emerald waters of the mind
that lead even further to a fresh water stream that leads even further to the ocean,
like a never-ending cycle.
I like to think hard, be contemplative, and ponder.
The more I do this the more I know myself.
The more I understand my motives and my beliefs
the ones I sometimes unconsciously slip.
The more I see which thoughts tear me down and bring me up.
I begin to be more aware of my actions, my surroundings, especially people.
The more I feel as if life is sane and not so hard, but balance can be found among the opposites chaos and serenity.
I like this feeling of not being sad, sorrowful, angry, or even euphoric, cheerful, and outgoing, but rather a happy medium.
It is a peaceful state-of-mind.
The neutral zone of the mind.
Everything seems possible and attainable,
but in this neutral zone you do not want, lust, or crave the materialistic or selfish things, but
desire to be a better person.
