A Warring Mind...

A "satisfied* mind?" Nope. That's a chimera. A unicorn. Not exactly the Holy Grail. Not even sure it's something to pursue. A warring mind? Yes. That's more on-target. On-brand. Rings a bell. Not sure it's a good thing, but it presents itself as a true thing. Always competing ideas. Sound & Fury. Hurly-Burly. Clashing and crashing: thoughts, desires, over-wrought emotions. A head like a swirling & whirling "ball of confusion." What it's all about? Kooky obsessions, silly concerns, over-stuffed worries, contentious doubts. Yikes. 

* Puts me in mind of that great Replacements song, you know, being satisfied might be a cursed fate: 

"Look me in the eye

Then, tell me that I'm satisfied

Was you satisfied?

Look me in the eye

Then, tell me that I'm satisfied

Hey, are you satisfied?

And it goes so slowly on

Everything I've ever wanted

Tell me what's wrong

Look me in the eye

And tell me that I'm satisfied

Were you satisfied?

Look me in the eye

Then, tell me that I'm satisfied

And now are you satisfied?

Everything goes

Well, anything goes all of the time

Everything you dream of

Is right in front of you

And everything is a lie

Look me in the eye

And tell me that I'm satisfied

Look me in the eye

Unsatisfied

I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied

I'm so dissatisfied

I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied

I'm so unsatisfied

Well, I'm-a

I'm so, I'm so unsatisfied

I'm so dissatis, dissattis

I'm so..."
