Words are how I "think," seemingly, and while I know thinking is just another sense, seemingly, I'm fascinated by those with no "inner monologue. My sister is one such person. I got a chance to ask her a bit more about her experience with this when I was visiting her recently. It seems like her thinking is non-verbal, that it occurs in a kind of "shorthand" that doesn't require the formation of words. I suppose I have this ability as well, but there's still an inner monologue going on all the time. I think maybe one of the reasons is that I got into writing things in high school and enjoyed doing this with writing letters, writing thoughts in journals and online discussion forums. Being an introvert means that speaking is not nearly as easy, I can't take pauses and reword things, hone those words to make better ones, etc. I know this is all very dualistic, but I still wonder sometimes about those who seemingly have no inner monologue and how they experience thinking, suffering, whether they tend to me much less represented in terms of those who are "seekers" or more representative, whether they tend to see through the self illusion more or less quickly, etc. Yes, more words and thinking, lol! Ok, back to presence!

The struggle of using form based words to describe formlessness ...

The simplicity of your posts is stunning. They kinda hit you over the head in a “good” way. Thank you Kat.

That are a lot of words to discripe something that is constantly moving in the fleeting present moment, it isn't even a moment and not fleeting at all...

When ticking a heart sending out Love not like.
