Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box

I tried all day long to stop thinking, to clear my mind, relax my thoughts. It was all in vain. I tried to think of nothing, but then I began imagining what nothing was, what nothing means. I saw shades of white, shades, of black, shades of gray, realizing each time that none of these things were actually nothing, why could I not see nothing. Needless to say I had to change my strategy. My new strategy: I began just staring at intimate objects, but i found instead of just staring, I would begin to inspect these objects detail by detail There is no pattern in the tile, it is completely random. So I stared at the wall, at first I zoned off deep in my thoughts, but I caught myself so I began inspecting the paint on my wall, once again I caught myself. So I sat in my chair closed my eyes and listened to music, that didn't work I just focused on the lyrics and tore apart the song. So I tried to focus on the music, the melody that worked until I heard the lyrics again. So i just listened to drumming, it works. I can just listen to drumming and do a little fantasia effect in my head and think about absolutely nothing. It is beautiful, magical, relaxing.
