I have been walking
on the edge of possibility.
To continue to grab,
as I have
Or to let go
of the painful grip?
The mind sees,
but the body can't abide,
or at least not yet.
Right now, it is just breath
and the evidence
of the power of mind's habits.
Nothing to do,
but watch with loving patience
and trust in mindfulness.

This is exactly where I am in my practice, continue to try to treat the mind's habits with kindness, curiosity, light heartedness and humor. Regard all dharma as dream...regard everything as a dream (Pema paraphrase:)
