#15 Watching My Brain Work

I wonder if most people have the experience of watching their brain work. It is new to me.

Mostly my brain is on autopilot but, all too often, it is rolling downhill, gaining speed, losing control, headed for a large black hole.

Sometimes now, I catch myself, or some part of myself, watching my brain doing its job. I see it, or hear it, I’m not sure which, getting hurt by an informal remark or getting frustrated by the same-old-same-old or twisting a normal situation into something I should be scared about.

I guess, it means that my brain is engaged but the next day I feel it careening down the hill again.
