The Way I See It

“I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.”  Franz Kafka

My perception gets me into trouble a lot.  Because of this I sometimes think differently than I should because the situation I am in is not what I think it is. Then, the committee in my head meets and my words and actions are not what I would really think if I meditate on the situation and allow my sane and clear mind to speak or act.  I have been to very dark places because of this.  But, when I meditate and pause I find myself in a much brighter place.
