Yes, Thank You

This idea had been floating around in my head for some time since reading "Comedy Sex God” by comedian Pete Holmes. He writes of his experience of looking at flowers and the chatter of his mind would take over and think about everything else but what he was looking at. By repeating the simple mantra of “yes, thank you”, he was able to shut off the thinking part of his brain and be in the present moment to finally “look without thinking.”

He ends the chapter with a great line: “Don’t consume the flower. Be consumed.”
