Floating Mind

Description

“The human mind constantly fluctuates between the present, the past, and thefuture. In good times, it embarks on weaving happy dreams. In bad times, itgoes to the past and remembers happy times, while it jumps to the future andthinks worrisome thoughts. Either way, it distracts us from reality, and as aresult, we lose control of our thoughts and feelings, ultimately affecting ourdecision-making ability.The following poems describe different moods of a floating mind. When itis restless, its thoughts are dominated by anxiety and fear. In a calm state, it isconnected to the soul and generates thoughts of hope and courage.Through these poems, the poet conveys that love is an innate quality ofhumankind which, however, is not let overwhelm life by the mind. Since themind is fed with news of hunger, hatred, and conspiracies worldwide, it tendsto miss the bliss of love that is the cure for all evil.”
