the speeding mind

Ever had that moment when your mind is spinning faster than your body can cope with? It seems to happen to me a lot. A while ago, someone said she had the impression of me as this very active brain dragging along an unwilling body. And that felt very true. I suppose that's why I get frustrated a lot; I have ideas that I would love to have take root in reality. Things I'd love to make happen - now, no delay. And, of course, it doesn't happen.

The other day I was exploring the variety of poetry websites where you can log on and post whatever you like. I needed to choose a username, and this particular website said "choose something different, something unusual, something creative". That stopped me - but only for a moment, because what came along was the name "the speeding mind". Now, that really appealed to me; it seemed to sum up so much of where I'm coming from. So that's the name I chose.

I don't know where it's going to lead, but I feel it's a part of me now.

This has been a Speeding Mind Production.
