Buomi and butterflies

Buomi got in touch yesterday. He shared this reflection:

Trying to exercise dominion over our thoughts is like trying to capture the passing clouds in a butterfly net. But it does not follow from the futility of the endeavour to overmaster our thoughts that our thoughts must overmaster us.

We don’t think Buomi he has ever used a butterfly net or that he would approve of the catching of butterflies but we enjoyed this reflection nonetheless.
