Yep, I learned that from no less than Oprah herself. She talks about how she says, first, something comes to you as a whisper, like you might want to do this, but very rarely do we hear that. Then it starts to be a message where it's like something tapping us on the head going, hello, hello, you may want to do this. You may want to like fireproof your house or something.

Then if you don't listen to the message, you get a lesson. Oops, something set fire to the drapes. Okay, lesson. If you don't pay attention to the lesson, you get a problem. And if you don't pay attention to the problem, you get a crisis. And if you don't pay attention to the crisis, you're dead. So, yeah.

And I notice when you're talking about the fleeting thoughts, repeatedly you've brought your right hand up and gestured toward the back right side of your head. And that is a physiological communication that anyone would understand in any situation. culture because it comes from the right sides of our brains.

You're indicating the area where the fleeting thoughts are connecting with the rest of your cognition. And it's a lot like I used to, once I moved to California in my 50s and I had this craving to do long meditations. So I'd go into the forest and cover myself with birdseed and then I would just sit there unmoving for hours to see what would come.

I had two chipmunks, these little soft, warm, furry things, have an actual territorial battle in my hands, like two tiny little sumo wrestlers. See, for me, that, it's like Emerson said, beauty is its own excuse for being. Two chipmunks wrestling in your hands. That is its own excuse for existing. That is just fun.
