many, many things of which only a percentage are possible or even probable. Sometimes they are good things, like winning the lottery or your partner cleaning the bathroom as a surprise, but sometimes they are bad. Actually, most times they are bad. Buddhist and other eastern philosophers call this the monkey mind: The mind starts with a fairly innocuous thought, then jumps to another, and another, then finally to something that can get you into trouble. Steve Orlen has a poem called "Monkey Mind":When I was a child I had what is called an inner life.
from Kristen Hoggart: The Smart Set: Ask a Poet: It's the Poetry, Stupid!
