Being Still
A wandering mind
Like a mind traveller
Travels aimlessly
With no destination
no goals
A wandering mind
Reactive to situations
Creates realities - that might be non-existent
Worrying about things - that might never happen
A habit that keeps us going
For endless lifetimes
Controlling our thoughts
Controlling our destiny
How can we still our mind when confronting challenges in life?
How can we be still when our surroundings seem to be chaotic?
Stop the chattering in your mind
Bring your distant mind back to this present moment
For this moment
Say in your heart, Namo Amitabha !
Repeat this again, and again
For even a short time
Your wild mind can settle
You will experience
The joy of being still
