A home always with me
I realized this evening
That wherever I will live
Wherever I will go
Whatever I will do
I have a home always with me
This home is my body
And when I just sit and let thoughts and feelings come and go
Then increasingly I feel at home inside myself
In the physical feelings
And the very fulfilling practice of doing nothing at all
They say all of the problems of man
Come from him or her not being able to be
Alone in a room with his thoughts for 30 minutes
But consequently
If you train yourself to be comfortable
Being alone in a room with your thoughts and feelings
If you practice just letting them come and go
Without stuffing your brain with input all the time
Wouldn't that mean that you would have fewer problems?
And so I will practice what my meditation taught me
Letting everything come and go
Thoughts and feelings
And nothing is unwelcome
In that way I am finding
That I have a home always with me
That wherever I will live
Wherever I will go
Whatever I will do
I have a home always with me
This home is my body
And when I just sit and let thoughts and feelings come and go
Then increasingly I feel at home inside myself
In the physical feelings
And the very fulfilling practice of doing nothing at all
They say all of the problems of man
Come from him or her not being able to be
Alone in a room with his thoughts for 30 minutes
But consequently
If you train yourself to be comfortable
Being alone in a room with your thoughts and feelings
If you practice just letting them come and go
Without stuffing your brain with input all the time
Wouldn't that mean that you would have fewer problems?
And so I will practice what my meditation taught me
Letting everything come and go
Thoughts and feelings
And nothing is unwelcome
In that way I am finding
That I have a home always with me
