Yes, they do. But, there are times when I'd like to shut down completely. I think that's why I have an affinity for drugs -- the legal ones now! :-0 I can escape this mind for at least a little while...

I love your thought about the choice that ceases to exist. It is freeing. I'm going to ponder that one!

About the heart in your choices... I think it's some of both.

You're a sweetheart as always. The questions keep you alive, don't they?

When I was in college I took a basic philosophy class (one of those pesky required things) and all semester I felt like I was going out of my mind. It raised so many questions and my brain spun like crazy with all the possibilities of such a grand universe that we live in.

Too many for my pea brain, really.

When I was contemplating the move back to Arkansas from California I was tormented by the fork in my road. Once I began to tread down whichever path I was going to take, it felt like it would be a final and irrevocable change in my life. It wasn't like I could go a little way then backtrack and take the other path if this one didn't suit me.

I wish I had read that Carlos Castaneda sentiment back then.

However, just before I dove in, I took a deep breath and realized that it didn't really matter which path I took -- that it wasn't really like a fork in the road in the literal respect. Once I made my decision, the other path would cease to exist and whatever decision I made would be okay -- because it always is.

That thought gave me a profound sense of calm.

Maybe it's in my nature to choose the path with heart... or maybe I give it heart as I steadfastly meander on.
