Dear Anita,

Thank you for this excellent point. What I will do, if I am successful at non-escaping. I will try to journal or jot down what my mental chatter is, what that noise is. I know it will take practice. I know it is not a perfect exercise in which you stop and your thoughts come to your head and you are able to analyze them. I also know that it is quite confusing. We play mind games with ourselves, we might think that we are OK just sitting with ourselves but our mind is still trying to escape, like a puppy in a cage- playful at times and seemingly at ease, and also a the same time anxious and frustrated. Regardless – I will do some observations this weekend, and report back.
