Definition of Monkey Mind

Monkey mind is a Buddhist term describing a mind that jumps from thought to thought like a monkey jumps from tree to tree. The monkey mind is not content with existing in the present moment, but rather engages in the thoughts that pass through.

25 Things To Know About Me

1. I'm a freelance writer. I don't just write for my living. I write for my life.

2. I read constantly. I've learned more from books than I've learned in any classroom.

3. I love quotes.

4. Here’s one: “I love humanity but I hate people.”(Edna St. Vincent Millay)

5. Despite #4, I am a practicing Buddhist. Enlightenment is a long way off.

6. I’m vegan. I love animals. I don’t belong to PETA.

7. I’m straight-edge…and gay. Oh the irony!

8. I’m happily married to Vegan John. The theme of our wedding was monkeys.

9. I live in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I love it here, and I don't even know how to chop wood.

10. Poetry is the reason I get up in the morning.

11. Meryl Streep is God.

12. In my first memory, I am drowning.

13. I am entirely too sensitive. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

14. I hate parades.

15. I love hot tubs.

16. Big, warm, fluffy sweaters make me happy.

17. I’m worried about America. Very worried. But I have great faith in humanity in general and the Obama administration in particular.

18. Another quote: “We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.” (Edward R. Murrow)

19. “Breaking the Waves” is my favorite film.

20. “The Golden Notebook” (Doris Lessing), “Diary of a Young Girl” (Anne Frank), and “Becoming A Man” (Paul Monette) are among my favorite books.

21. I sometimes love to read trashy romance novels of the historical variety. They just don't make big-pecked heroes like they used to.

22. “The Simpsons” is a work of genius.

23. Ditto “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”.

24. I believe I have a right to my opinion and the right to express it. I believe you do too.

25. A quote: “I don’t trust people who don’t laugh.” (Maya Angelou)
