Organizing Thoughts

Sometimes you need a spot of shade in which to sit

And contemplate.

There's nothing like blue sky and green grass

And quietness

To aid one's mind in the drift to rolling scenes

Of remembrance.

The images that shift and morph across the inner screen

Need organization

Which takes time and a lack of distraction

For placing

In their proper context that they may be recalled

As needed.

Time spent thinking helps us to find

The patterns

That escape us when we rush from place to place

In busyness

That stacks information sequentially

As occurrences

Rather than contextually in a manner

That connects

Disparate events recorded in our passage

Through life

So that they may be recalled as needed

For solutions

To new things we might face as we continue on

Our journey.
