К "Фрагментам". Черновик

"Paying Attention": Commentary (draft)

Worrying about the future

or

reliving the stories of the past

I

slip into

a damp gloomy place of discontent and misery -

it never seems to be good enough

Trapped…

“When each moment is born anew in your consciousness,

you will carry no more pain.

You have only to release the desire to suffer.”

I close my eyes

I take a deep breath

and I silence all the conversations in my head

I ground myself

I grow into “here and now”

I am still

I listen and hear no voices - only wind

I am alone

and

free from all the characters and ghosts inhabiting my mind

At least for now
