Gap the Mind

Mind the Gap

Between the train and the platform edge

Mind

the Gap

Step over the gap

But what about Gap the Mind?

Yes, your Mind – Yes, my Mind

Is it locked onto overdrive?

Whats its thinking about today?

Locked in past?

Locked in future?

Locked in sideways news?

Tied up in a current drama?

Relentless thinking

All. the . time

What do you think might happen if it stopped?

Scared of the gap?

A thinking mind is a safe one? is it?

Because Im not thinking about the thing that gnaws at me

What would happen… if there was a gap?

Listen to the now of your mind

Stand to one side of it

notice – what is it thinking

What is your mind thinking?

Is it heavy – the thinking load?

Whilst you are thinking – you are not here

You are somewhere else

Somewhere else …in time

Somewhere else..in thought

But not here.

So stay here a moment.

Sit..and notice the mind churn

Take a moment from your mind – to look

At something

Anything

Take yourself from your mind, to your eye

To your hands

To your nose

To your body

Feel it as it moves

Especially slowly

like a pen on paper

a pencil on a card

Create a gap

Gap the mind.

Nothing has disappeared.

But you created a moment

A gap, when you controlled your mind, and it didnt control you

For a brief moment

Try it again

Gap your mind – and see what happens

You are not your mind

Make a Gap

Feel the space between

Let it flow

Ill do it then

If not when – what about now?
