Musings of the Mind at Moonlight

I had a lot of thoughts in mind when I created this post. Now, I sit here and find I don’t have even one. Or I have a hundred too many. Hard to tell the difference sometimes when it all sounds like static.

Maybe that’s why I started this post – I just wanted a place to clear the static.

I don’t know if this post will ever even go live. Likely it will.

If or when it does, by the time it’s live, I’ll have either been off the platform for a day or two, or have just posted recently. The reasons were several, but irrelevant to this post. Irrelevant to most everything, really.

I still did a lot of writing, some listening to music, and basically feeling lousy. Springtime, pollen and I are not the closest of allies.

What I had hoped to do was a lot of sleeping, but that didn’t exactly happen. A lot of broken sleep, but nothing good and solid.

Funny state of mind these days. Not happy, not sad, angry, etc.

Just…Here, I guess.

The other funny thing? I don’t really mind it.

While some might bemoan the absence of emotion, I almost find it refreshing.

Not looking for, or expecting happiness, sadness, and so on, almost allows you to be more free in an odd way.

Is it a good forever plan? Probably not, at least not taken to the max. But being completely removed from any thoughts or feelings for a few days might be a nice “reset” for the heart and the psyche.

It’s almost like being a Vulcan on Star Trek. For a moment in time, you are viewing things through a totally different lens.

The Art of Detachment in it’s extreme, I suppose.

I don’t know that I had an endgame in mind when I started writing this.

But I guess that’s the beauty if it.

It doesn’t have to be anything other than what it is.

    Those words really speak to me because I know exactly how you feel. I’ve felt the same, too many times to count. 🫂🩵

  2. No expectations is the cue here! 👍all the positive emotions turn the sword’s edge towards us because of the expectations.

    1. Indeed. Sometimes to just expect nothing and take it as it comes is easiest and best 🙏

  3. I am afraid that I will have to use a pun here — the state that you describe brings to mind of the concept of mushin or wuxin. To be in a state of no mind.

  8. Interesting thoughts!
    Your reflections on detachment and clearing the mental static are both poignant and relatable. Sometimes, stepping back and embracing neutrality can indeed provide a much-needed reset.

  9. No it doesn’t.  That’s one of the reasons I like it here.  It’s not a diary, I’ve never kept a diary but it seems an outlet, no matter the mood you can voice it here and sometimes it hits another person the same way…hard to explain.

  10. Sounds serene and I long for that emotion most … Using detachment as the method under stress is good, but don’t deprive yourself either. I appreciate how you vocalize internal turmoil with art and poetry ~ Thank you, Kevin and wish you a cool day with no yuck in the air (lol)!
