Becoming aware of each breath,
Gradually slowing down,
Realizing what is important.
Separating the useful from the mundane.
Entering the rabbits tunnel,
Losing track, going right back in or forgetting all about it.
Failing succeeding and trying again.
Remembering forgetting and then remembering again.
Excruciatingly slow, frustratingly painful,
demanding faith, patience, persistence and
Gradually getting the knack of it.
Separating the breath from the mind and its thoughts,
Separating the breath from blind and often irrational desires,
Effortfully redirecting attention from the ongoing narrative,
Overcoming the repeated use of the deviated path,
Moving on the right path,
Gradually seeing it shorten,
Experiencing it get subtle,
Redirecting attention inwards,
Settling in,
Unstable state leading to detached outward gaze,
Strengthening inward gaze,
No need for any further excursion.
Eternal freedom and bliss.
