Thoughts about Thoughts

In that incredible synchronicity which occurs from time to time, I came across this today, a propos of my blog post yesterday about my daughter :-

"It is impossible for the mind to remain undisturbed by thoughts, but anyone serious about the matter can certainly permit them entry or drive them away, and although their origin does not lie entirely under our control we can choose to approve of them and to adopt them."

From St. John Cassian (Conferences, Conf. 1 sect. 17; Paulist Press pg. 51)
