the opossum payed a visit tonight. he's quite cute and terrifying at the same time, he seemed comfortable moving about the shadow, and this fella took a gentle approach to the danger it had been confronted by.

a friend advised me earlier today to "shut my eyes" when the mind begins to wander. i think the message here is to practice a type of stillness when the mind becomes restless or beckons bad habits.

not always successful, and meditating while restless can be a challenge but i find changing routine can be just as helpful when trying to rise above or feel reinvigorated.

it's important to slow down and reassess ourselves and the moment whenever we find ourselves straining.

the unruly mind will have to get used to the one who take up the reins.
