So many at unrest,

Unable to quiet the mind by day.

Restless,

Unable to sit still.

Ten minutes,

Seems to be an eternity.

One minute,

Just as long.

Filling our day with more things,

More stuff to do.

We rest our head,

Unable to quiet the mind.

The cycle continues,

Leading us towards paradise or damnation.

Pop one maybe two,

Hoping to subdue the head-mind.

From daytime into night,

Nighttime into day.

Why won’t it shut up?!

Ok…let us begin…

For it is taming head mind our heart is able to speak. For in quieting chatter, we hear and speak what is needed.~Ani Po
