The Noisy Mind

There is the seemingly incessant stream of thought, rattling on about anything and everything. It is mostly stressful and almost always pointless.
At some moment I become aware of it and there is an almost instantaneous reaction to it of irritation and resistance. I don't want my mind to be like this and I try to resist it and change it.
These seemingly different states are two sides of the same coin.
On one side is what I am and on the other side is what I think should be.
This all takes place inside the space of what is.
I then see that both sides of the coin are in opposition and that they are both fragments of thought.
It is there that I let go of the whole coin and find myself in silence.
