The Composite Human

If the mind is the third hand, it is also the most active. How often does it lay on a table or rest within the pockets of pants? Seldom.

It is always reaching, always working, for better or for worse.

Negativity could be seen as a cloud that rises from the brain’s depths and hovers about for hours. But a better metaphor is the clinging hand. Like nervous fingers twitching, the third hand can’t help but continually reach and squeeze on the different sensations and memories inside itself.

Mindfulness is the key. Stay your antsy hand. Become aware of it, and you shall command it.
