meditate, hunger, beads, pound cake, fan, turn signal
Freewrite
It was brought to my attention that I am only posting the prompts and am not writing. I had to meditate on that. Or that is not really the way to use the word meditate - even though so many people do. If you meditiate, you concentrate - on one thing. Some are saying you empty your mind. Well, most minds don’t empty that easy. But we can come to the point of doing one thing with such great concentration that nothing else is there - nothing else can enter our mind.
I meditate when I am walking up a steep hill and breathing and setting one step in front of the other. That is it. Nothing else exists, nothing else can be. There is no past, there is no future. Only now. The breath, the step. One foot in front of the other.
That other thing people call meditating - like sitting still and such. For most, that just means the mind goes crazy. Everywhere. All over the place. Thoughts swirling from the right to the left. Up and down. No turn signal to direct them. Wildness, craziness. Thoughts everywhere.
I am telling you right now - do not think about the white elephant. What are you doing?
You are thinking about it!!! I knew it. I can see into your mind! I can see how you are sitting there, thinking how you should be emptying your mind. But your stomach is talking now. Telling you that you are hungry.
“Hunger!” Your stomach screams at you. “Which part of hunger, which part of being hungry, do you not understand?”
Stomachs can be so very annoying. Like when my mighty and healthy thinking mind said “NO!” to the pound cake smiling at me in the bakery window.
It was saying something about sugar and health and all the kind of silly things the mind keeps coming up with when the stomach was saying, loud and clear: “But it is so yummy!”
Now, it is telling my mind that it should have stopped, eaten that pound cake. If it had, it could be such a quiet mind now. A mind empty of desires for pound cake, or sugar beads, or chocolate in any form. But it didn’t. And the stomach, the biggest fan of anything sweet one could ever imagine, won. There goes that meditation. Should have signed up for the chocolate meditation. Then both of us could have been happy.
A We-write of stomach and mind.

Oh, what a beautiful way to combine all the words.
I will follow your example because I owe two words and maybe they are more.
