Now that I have given up my job and gradually getting rid of my stuff, I have a lot of time to spare,which is fantastic. In all that new-found time I can actually think - I can sit quietly and let the sounds outside run over me or I can actively (or should that be non-actively?) meditate, I can plan in my head what I am going to do this week or I can simply day-dream.
When I had a hectic, busy working life there was no room for thought. Every day was the same - get up, dress, go to work, work, come home, make dinner and then vegetate on the sofa. The only talking I did apart from answering queries at work, was discussing last night's tv or idle gossip. I find that I am no longer interested in these things any more and even though I do have less to think about I love having an empty mind.
When your mind is empty you really do feel part of the greater universe. I do not want to sound like a new-ager but it is true. When not bogged down by trivia your mind can soar. Try it and see.
