Each thought

Each thought is of definite length
.
It does not last for over what we may call an instant.
.
But the time of its duration is in fact much shorter
.
It springs into life and then it dies.
.
But it is at once reborn in the form of another thought
.
And so the process goes on from moment to moment
.
From hour to hour.
.
From day to day.
.
Week to week
.
And each of these reincarnated thoughts lives its life
.
Some good
.
Some bad
.
Some so bad in their nature that if we could see them we would shrink back in fright
.
Further than that a number of these thoughts form themselves into a certain idea


And it dies to be reincarnated in its time
.
Thus rolls on this vast flood.
.
Will it overwhelm us?
.
It may 
.
It often does.
.
Let us then make our thoughts pure.
.
Our thoughts are the matrix
.
The mine
.
The fountain.
.
The source of all that we are and of all that we may be
