#71 All I need
“All I need is a little time
To get behind this sun and cast my weight
All I need is to peace this mind
I can celebrate”
Beth Susan Hirsch / Jean Benoit Dunckel / Nicolas Jean Michel Godin — Air — All I need
“How can you be your worst enemy?”
A friend asked me yesterday.
“You have nothing wrong in your life
at least at this moment
and yet you are complaining!”
Who never?
Everything is calm, collected, flowing
but your inner resistance breaks the chain
and insists on dragging your heart through mud that day
Why is the human mind so hedonistic?
So frantic, so restless, so belligerent?
Why is “letting it be” an effort?
What is stopping us of enjoying today?
Of not getting caught up in these moments of tension
that oppress enlightenment
Is our ego such a great canyon?
swallowing and filtering our perceptions?
How can we tame it? domesticate it?
I feel like I’ve tied myself so tight sometimes
