Topic #279:
Sometimes you can make a topic appear out of nothing at all. Do the following.
- Make sure you are somewhere safe.
- Guess how long you can keep your eyes closed.
- Close your eyes.
- Start counting.
- See how long you can go.
Write about any or all of:
- How close your guess was to your actual performance.
- What thoughts did your mind wander to while you were counting?
- Did you feel any fear? Why or why not?

I could close my eyes forever but I only did it for two minutes and all I could think of was seeing my boyfriend and bringing him lunch . I did not feel fear . Probably because I am in a quiet place .

LOL If I do this in the early morning, when I’m at my creative ‘peak’, I wonder how many times I’ll fall asleep?

I counted to 400 , surprised that I didn’t lose count any earlier even though there were other thoughts coming in an out and then i got bored and lost count. also at the point I had a freakout, a reminder of a recent unpleasant exchange with a landlord . I thought it was going to end with something pleasant, a peace or a solution of some kind, not a freakout!

130 Maybe that’s miles per hour at Bonneville! I can imagine that and may make that a goal for next year. Once one drives that quickly, he or she, can join the 130 MPH club. Might sound like an interesting project.
Ahh active meditation E.
