I'M HUMAN JUST LIKE YOU & WE'RE ALL LOST IN THOUGHT

Mother Earth by Lourents Oybur

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately; thinking about nothing in particular except for everything in particular and my brain feels a tiny bit mushy. You know, thinking is great. I spend eighty percent of my day with my mouth shut and my mind reeling in a hundred different directions and most of the time I want to do nothing more than that. Our ability as humans to reason and not just act on innate instinct is what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Strength? Any lion could tear us apart. Brains? Most of us have got that in the bag. However, as lucky as we are to have this, I believe that our ability to think-- and think a lot at that-- is one of the greatest downfalls of being human... There I go, thinking something again.

It's currently 10:31 PM. Not that late but late enough on a weekday for my busy self to be yearning for sleep. But instead, I'm lying in bed, lights off, computer screen on, listening to someone magical.

Olivver.
