- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

It consist mainly of the storm of thoughts
that is forever flowing through one's head.

are neither your mind nor your body.

Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.
That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,
shame, foreboding, worry, and fear
is your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.
