Monkey Mind


First winter rain-
even the monkey
seems to want a raincoat.

In spirituality there is something called the 'Monkey Mind' to describe the way our thoughts flit from one idea to another without taking time to fully explore them. This is likened to the way a monkey swings from tree to tree, tearing off pieces of fruit and throwing them away after just a taste.
