Perceptions altered in state
Body calmly rests

They come and they go
Like memories made of sand
Like dust in the wind

Attachment to "I"
Disappointment is result
Let go of the self

Born to the system
We're uploaded from the womb

Sit silent and watch
See your thoughts but don't engage
Let them pass through air

Just be as you are
Content with what is, accept
You're already whole

Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness
We do it every day in our heads
Conversation starts the moment you wake up
Then when we dream we circumnavigate our subconscious
We don't question it's reality
When I open my eyes I feel nauseous
Try to lift my body and move my feet forward
First steps are always clumsy and awkward
All I want to do is promptly get to the toilet
My arms are so heavy need to get to the kettle and boil it
Wake up and smell the coffee
After the 2nd cup I'll feel less groggy
Vision returns to normal, no longer foggy
Have some breakfast then sit and meditate
Focus is sharp now, no time to hesitate...
But wait... ...
Another cup of coffee to get me going
Now I've just realised I've forgot my clothing
I turn on the shower to reinvigorate my power
Get dressed try to tidy up the mess
Wash the dishes
Locate my daily wishes
Still trying to figure out what my career is...?
