“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” Aristotle
I Started I started, but I could not, that I know, a certain resistance I could not transcend, a thought hovered, what cannot be said should be left unsaid, a certain reality I could not quite see became a question whose words would not form what I had captured, and so I left it there in middle mind. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
Brilliant Paul. Brilliant.

I think I probably have quite a bit of thought detritus in middle mind. I go in and poke around every now and again to see what I can find.

Yes, we do keep a random collection, but some of it needs to be left alone I’m sure.
