Thoughts only capture and control us if we identify with them, personalise them and hold onto them as true representations. Can we simply notice them, accept and acknowledge them, then let them go and watch them evaporate as quickly as they emerge?

Travel yes, by all means, but remember wherever we go we take our mind, with all it’s problems, with us. Suffering in paradise is still suffering and we can end up blaming people and places for our own unresolved issues.
