clearing one’s mind
Posted on 13 April 2006
“The most important step in learning concentration is to learn to be alone with oneself without reading, listening to the radio, smoking or drinking. Indeed, to be able to concentrate means to be able to be alone with oneself-and this ability is precisely a condition for the ability to love.
Anyone who tries to be alone with himself will dsicover how difficult it is…He will find himself thinking about his plans for later in the day, or about some difficulty in a job he has to do, or where to go in the evening, or about any number of things that will fill his mind-rather than permitting it to empty itself.“
Erich Fromm
this quote was published in 1956 yet the spirit still applies today, beauty
