As I sit and meditate I have moments of being mindful/staying present in the moment. Glimpses. I feel within myself a spaciousness that allows me to observe without reacting. I can observe what is happening right now without wishing it were different. I can enjoy the pleasant without trying to grasp onto it as I know it will change. I can accept the unpleasant without being fearful that it’ll never end, because it will. These moments are enough to sustain me.
Enough.
These few words are enough.
If
not these words, this breath.
If
not this breath, this sitting here.
This
opening to the life
we
have refused
again
and again
until
now.
Until
now
