My Mantra

Calmly present.

Simply unattached and nonjudgmental aware.

Feeling impulses, thoughts, and experiences without becoming hooked about how things should be, or should never be, or should remain forever.

Sunning where I reside, then hopping to another lily pad when the spirit moves me.

This “I” does not exist, but is merely a useful fiction.

Surrendering to what is, wanting what is.

This moment is as good as any other.

If I can endure it, I will endure it.
