A Blank Mind

I am not feeling well; my mind is a complete blank.

A passage in the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch came to mind:

The capacity of the mind is vast and great like empty space, and has no boundaries. It is not square or round, great or small. Neither is it blue, yellow, red, or white. It is not above or below, or long or short. It is without anger, without joy, without right, without wrong, without good, without evil, and it has no head or tail. All Buddha-lands are ultimately the same as empty space…
