Tranquil Intentions

I close my eyes and look inside myself. Nothing is there. No thoughts rush to greet me, no emotions pull at my attention. My mind has emptied of all motivation, want and desire. It's the closest to Zen as I've been without flirting with apathy. Still, I'm concerned. While the opportunities for such a blank slate could be exciting, I feel no desire to create. I am at peace in this state of non-being. Naturally, I begin to look for explanation as to why I feel this way, as if it were a problem. I can see a path of reasoning here which would lead me to worry and anxiety, and refuse to explore it. I know I will move eventually, and at some point during the day be influenced into opinion, motion, or emotion, however, for the betterment of my person, I must stay mindful of my natural state of mind.
