is your mind a forest?

I have asked that, because in actuality my mind is like that sometimes...I remember years back when I was working as a journalist. I had an assignment to do a travel log for a group of islands in the South Pacific, upon traveling to the islands to see what should go on the report, I came back with so many ideas of how I should write the piece and how to highlight different things, long story short, when I wrote the report out and add the video to it, although the report was good I failed to put in the most important things that were important in drawing tourists, so this gentleman who has been a great helper to me came and said, can we meet? when I sat down in his office, he said, the report is good, but you forgot this and you forgot that and you should have done this and that, then your report would have been excellent. He said, your mind is like a forest, it's full of beautiful trees and running streams, lovely birds, etc...But! you need to know how to sit down, think and meditate more on what's inside the forest, then put down on paper what comes out of that quiet time and as you do that, put them in priority of what's important and what that will do for the forest and the community around it. That has become a practice that I am still trying to do each day...

**have a pleasant week-end..to you.
