thoughts [Theme] Page 5
Martin's thoughts hovered far away, almost beyond consciousness. From time to time he made an effort to say something to Joe. But he loved Joe. But Joe was too full of life, and contact with him was now painful for Martin. It was too much of a burden for his tired soul.
- Yes, a herd of two. And you are the leader.
... And the snow kept falling, falling like light butterflies on the eyelashes, sitting down on an abandoned old woman’s bench, not letting her get bored, carefully covering the houses, trees, and earth with its embrace. And even the sky seemed to be made of soft cotton wool. This snowy silence made my ears ring, and my thoughts slowly swirled in flakes in a white waltz. And such aching happiness blurred in my chest, when it was both good and at the same time a little sad. It was snowing...
Seeing its hiding place everywhere in the surrounding nature?!
It seems to me that vulgarity has two indispensable characteristics: for it there is nothing difficult and nothing alien. A vulgar person, in the full sense of the word, pours out - thoughts and feelings pour out of him, he does not select them, does not filter them. He knows everything in the world, that is, he knows nothing. The one who knows everything has lost his sacred awe... he judges everything immodestly, from above, he has forgotten that everything in the world is sacred in its own way.
Kerim asks: “Are you afraid that she will run away?” - “I don’t know, for some reason I’m always scared that I’ll suddenly lose her, that she’ll turn into smoke, become a bird and fly away.” - “Are you seriously saying this? Or are you pretending? - “Seriously.” - “I thought such thoughts only come into people’s heads in novels.”

After all, I know that thoughts are material.
Thoughts, like cartridges, can also be blank.
Renew past thoughts, test new thoughts with time and antiquity.
And he can confuse our thoughts so that we ourselves become confused in everything that is happening.
Try to control your thoughts. Keep your attention on some positive aspects throughout the day. Fill your life with some pleasant hobbies.
On the way from the meadow to the house, I tried not to think about anything. My first editor liked to say that eighty percent of what goes through a novelist's head has nothing to do with his work, but I never believed that this applied only to writers. And the so-called sublime thoughts, to put it mildly, are greatly overrated. When faced with a problem and something needs to be done, I firmly believe that the best solution is to step aside and let the boys in the basement do their work. This is hard physical work, the lot of blue collar, non-unionized guys with huge biceps and a scattering of tattoos all over their bodies. They act guided by instinct, and turn to those above them for advice only as a last resort.
Love your scars, gray hairs, tired crystal eyes, sad thoughts in the evenings and an ever-burning heart.
