Thoughts while meditating

I set the Meditation Timer for 10 minutes,
the first chime started at 10 seconds and I watched
my thoughts drift by, occasionally snagging on roots
before continuing along the stream of consciousness.
Oh, what a wonder of how many thoughts, how many
topics we cover in so few minutes, from weddings to
work, sister to Stephen, orbital debris to the nature of
obsession, summer to daughter, I ponder the productiveness
of such journeys, it opens my eyes to how hard it
is to be here
now.
