The mind thinks

so one would think

it would think itself into

a happy state.

 But no-oo-o for many of us,

the mind thinks

disaster, catastrophe

around every corner.

So when you're thinking strays from what serves you well,

when your heart jumps in 

and cries its pain,

just remember:

there is a thinker

behind the mind

thinking deeper

than the thoughts.

The thinker can talk

to the mind,

to the heart,

like a gentle parent

to a crying child:

it's okay sweetie,

I got you,

I love you,

"All is well, all is well,

with our souls."
