Let the Mind Settle

Sometimes we all shall give ourselves space, to let the mind settle,

such as after a book, a story, a painting, or a long journey

The intensity of an activity can make the mind weary, which is not conducive for producing work,

like water stirred by a dragonfly’s wings, the mind can have ripples too

When such moments arrive, one should go for a walk, like Thoreau in Walden, walking into the thick of the season, and of the woods,

to experience, to let the mind settle.
