Is it possible to say that an empty space thinks also? That is the only way
I can think off to describe it. The brain seems to have deferred to the mind
and thoughts come from somewhere else via the now quieter brain which no
longer thinks madly about everything and everything. Everything just sort of
'is' and life takes on a smoother troublefree path. >
