The Technicolor Balloons

Daily life is often consumed with thoughts. Ideas. Mind Wanderings. It is these tangents that are so alluring at the moment, that I think keep us from going to the genuine depths of our imagination. Picture with me, a dozen balloons hovering just above your head. These balloons are your thoughts. Imagine, if you will, these thoughts obstructing the view of the sky. You have the ability to let go of the balloons one by one and let them slowly make way for a view of the beautiful reality above. Strangely, you hold on with white knuckles. These balloons may be an array of colors, resembling a static rainbow lullaby. The blue one: sidetracks. The yellow: a mental tangent. Red: Clutter. When all we can see is a sea of technicolored balloons, it begins to create a perpetual reality, blinding us to the reality that lay just beyond. We lose control because we do not accept loss of control. What would it be like if we had the mental capacity to let go of every balloon without judgement, without concern, and keep our eyes focused on the sky above. With every new balloon handed to you, you simply let it go, without care, knowing that your are holding your attention on something eternal. It's time to cut the strings of the balloons.
