To anchor to the present
Observe body in space
Seek what’s there; reality
Not what’s nowhere; fabrication
No problem is bigger than six inches
Observe what’s real
Not what’s not
Self talk is self deception
Language of truth is silence
You are not your thoughts
Progressively,
React
Observe and react
Observe and react less intensely
Observe and not react
Observe and respond
Train the mind
To recognize pathological habitual thought patterns
And edit them
Progressively,
Stillness
Silence
Awareness
Impermanence
Detachment
Awareness
Impermanence
Detachment
Train the mind
To identify impermanence of physical experience
And not attach
Root of fear is attachment
Dependence on
An outcome
Plus recognized lack of control
Detachment is fearlessness
Independence from
All outcomes
Plus your best effort
Keep faith in the path
Stay inline with the Law of Nature
And there is nothing to fear
To identify impermanence of physical experience
And not attach
Root of fear is attachment
Dependence on
An outcome
Plus recognized lack of control
Detachment is fearlessness
Independence from
All outcomes
Plus your best effort
Keep faith in the path
Stay inline with the Law of Nature
And there is nothing to fear
I like all of your poems, but I have to say this is one of my most favorites.
