Your post reminds me that position of mind is more important than position of body. The Buddha himself is reported to have said that he clearly intended for us to give up our map of hopes and fears, and instead travel the road between desires and expectations by dealing with the world as it really is. My "monkey mind" is just the way I really am, so the detachment of observing it rather than trying to manage it reveals ways to be less reactive and more creative. Thanks for starting this thread..
