Sitting with nothing to do.
but just sit
and watch the ebbs and flows
of breath
and the frequent interruptions
of thoughts
a lot about 'me'.
Sitting with nothing to do
but just sit
and listen to the sounds
outside, and inside
and feel
the random pains
and pleasures.
Sitting with nothing to do
but just sit
and not liking
being with the unpleasantness
a lot of the time
still hoping for some bliss
secretly.
Sitting with nothing to do
but just sit
and see the true nature
of mind
making up stuff
when there is only
body sitting quiet.
Sitting with nothing to do
but just sit.

ReplyDelete'Sitting with nothing to do.
ReplyDeletebut just sit...'
:-) thankyou.
Thank you, Hans. Non duality, duality, both concepts :)
ReplyDeleteAnd then the direct experience of sitting with little outer stimulus. A long standing experiment in seeing mind at work. At first, I dismissed sitting as 'just sitting'. Mind not yet understanding, doubting, deluded. Now, I see it as a chance to apprehend the absolute reality of things. Thoughts seen for just that, thoughts, most of them not to be believed.
When there is activity I seek peace, when there's peace I seek activity. What to do... Just sit and stop seeking .... ha ha I need to take my own advice. This crazy mind is .... just that.. crazy.
ReplyDeleteMuch peace to you all
