“Only a joyful, open mind and attitude, always sustaining you.” – Atisha

I’ve settled down to a still place, trying to make my heart not race. I need some peace and quiet here. Cities hustle I cannot hear.

I close my eyes and take a breath. What I find makes me perplexed. Calmness spreads as I focus now. Only my breathing matters here.

Centered on the breath I take. I finally relaxed for change. From the chaos of my life. 

In with my breath, it brings in light. Carries forward with new life. Out with the breathe, expel the hate. There is no room for it in my fate.

Transported away from this wild place, I find myself in a new space. The minds eye is what I’ve found. A plateau of wonders all around.

The spirits of the other world, share with me mysteries, secrets never heard. I keep them in my mind this day. Ways to keep the darkness at bay.

Compassion fills me, understanding too. I wish I’d learned this so long ago. What they say of it is true. I no longer feel quite so Blue.

Awakened with the things I’ve learned. To share them I wish and yearn. Stories from across the realms. Secrets that often overwhelm.
