There is an old lesson in learning to let thoughts pass.

A thought arrives.

A memory follows.

Then the mind begins building a whole world around it.

What if? Why? How did it come to this?

But we do not have to enter every room the mind opens.

Sometimes we can simply bow to the thought, close the door, and return to the present moment.

That may not solve everything.

But for today, it may be enough.
