Inspired by a recent trip to Ashland, Oregon.

Unattended thoughts will be given an espresso and a puppy.

If you replace ‘thoughts’ with ‘children,’ you will have the original sign that I spotted hanging in the coffee house on the second story of Bloomsbury Books (Ashland). I don’t think there is much difference between meditator-thoughts and parent-children. The meditator-parent pays attention, but doesn’t necessarily get involved.
