On brain balance, overthinking, attention, and a basin

For quite a while I have been thinking about different ideas, such as the balance of the brain, the thoughts that go round and round and the capacity to pay attention. A few days ago I woke up with a need to write about all this. Right after sending the kids to school, I started typing on the computer to see if anything made sense.

After spending some time banging on the keyboard, I realised that all these thoughts needed to come out, perhaps to restore the balance. This article is about biology, brain homeostasis, thoughts, attention and tailoring a story, with a metaphor included.
