The Frogs, the Poets, and the Fools: A Meditation on Mindfulness

A somewhat pedantic ramble about what is meant by "thoughts" and "thinking" and "emptying the mind" in the context of mindfulness practices. Bonus content: the actual point of mindfulness, why equating mindfulness with discipline supports the patriarchy, and a side quest into the nature of conscious awareness. TL;DL? Go stand by a field and listen to the frogs.
