Day One Hundred and Twenty Four

I have been influenced by every reaction of mine since I was born. I notice that my current state of mind is like a comet with a long tail that has come from my past. I cannot entirely stop it, or be something different, but I can choose to pick a place to concentrate here, in this moment. I forget that I have this base always available to me. Practice. In fact, I do not even move to concentration without some awareness that my mind is being carried along. This is an implied base.
