I was Just Thinking

It has occurred to me that we all think we think all the time. Think about that…..we all think...

That we all think…all the time. Re-arrange those sentences any way you choose. The real issue is that we really don’t think as often as we think we do. Let’s move on.

“Think” is actually both a noun and a verb. More commonly we use it as a verb. The words ponder, reflect, meditate, and contemplate are synonyms. However, we don’t often use the words interchangeably. Instinctively, we know that pondering, meditating, and contemplating require a set aside time, mind clearing, and a deliberate process.

My mother would occasionally find quiet time in a house with too many people in too little space. The term “lost in thought” aptly describes her state.
