A friend sometimes playfully faults
me for changing my mind too often, but the truth is that all of our minds
change moment by moment, and we should revel in the fact. A breeze blows in
brand new ways each second, and none of us can escape constantly building a
brand new thought. Actually, we don’t so much build new thoughts as freely
receive them as they sweep into our lives like continuous gifts. Thoughts may
sometimes seem old, just the same ones that have been inspiring or pestering us
for days and years, but actually each thought is a release of something utterly
free and fresh. A thought may wear some of the clothes of past thoughts, but
underneath there’s nothing that’s not new and ready to remake us. Our lives
consist, most of all, of ever-changing ideas flaring up like ever-wavering
flames, and the best approach to this wonder is not to work against it but to
praise it.
