The Inner Outer Oasis: Our minds are filled with thoughts, it's self-talk. Everyone at some point needs a safe haven to rest. A sanctuary from the overwhelmingly repetitive vagaries that often drain us of happiness and even our energy. Unplug: Easy to say, hard to do. Computers think they're so smart, but they are vulnerable to a reboot or if all else fails you can turn them off and unplug. Your brain is way too smart for that trick. Just when you think you've calmed those racing thoughts down, your brain kicks in a whole new set for you to...

  Quietude: The awoken dream. Aroused by thought. Life in a day. Where do you and I go from here we ask? Ambiguous as it may sound. You and I set the stage with our recurring thoughts.
