A Natural Thing

  After all the excursions of the day are done, and all the chores completed, all the people who you needed to talk to have been spoken to. After all the pleasantries needed for politeness sake have been said. Finally, ease can become you. Like an old familiar blanket, the warmth of calm begins to embrace you, You are alone with your thoughts, no one else to deal with, and all of the conversations are done for the day. Peace and quiet, no one on your mind to impress. No more thinking of anything other then yourself, This is your time!
  At times like these, when the comfort and safety of home, finally give you peace of mind. It is a natural thing, to think back and remember the goings on of the day just done. and Questions come to mind, Did I handle things right, did I say the right thing? Maybe I should have handled it the other way?
  But there is a peace beyond even this point of relaxation. It comes when you allow yourself to not think any more about the mundane trappings of the day before. What you are doing by releasing those thoughts, is clearing your mind. Now if you can do this, and you have gotten this far, you have done well. Take a deep breath through your nose, and release it all at once from your mouth. Now pick out a point of focus, it can be something physical, or that question that you have often thought about? If you have become fixated by something in the room, you can think about it. Why was it made, what is it for? How has it been manufactured, what makes it work, what gives it it's strength?
  How did this thing come to be, who made it and why? What purpose does it serve, could the world live without it? What would the world be like without it? Look to the way it was made, look past the intricacies of it, and look to find the simplicity of it's design.
  In a very short time, you will astound yourself, by all that you have learned, and by how much you now know, about something that only hours ago, you knew nothing about. And all of this without anyone teaching you, you did it on your own, alone, and all by yourself!
