thinking walls

last thought of the morning......

why do people get so attached to their views?
i mean.....tiny views.
things that don't really matter, but to them
it's a personal insult if you think differently?
how come?

is it a security thing?
building a world that makes sense?

whatever it is, it's a drag.

i got to thinking about it yesterday.
then thought i really don't want to do that.

and then guess what?!
i saw myself do it!

groan.

NO KIDDING.

i woulda argued if someone else pointed it out
and said it wasn't a tiny thing to have a view on.

yeah.
yeah.
right.

yes it was.

so how much do we do this every day?
i'm thinking i do it in much more masked ways.
makes it harder to notice.
but i still do it.....

i saw me do it in my head with the kids.
so i have a plan.

i'm gonna put it out there to them at breakfast.
tell them what i was thinking.
and let them expand my thinking walls.
let them tell me how wrong i am.
and i'm gonna hear them.
cause you know what?
they're right.

maybe one day i won't have any thinking walls....
maybe i'll just have thinking.
