Thich Nhat Hahn
confessed to writing
being one of the hardest
times to be present
i'll confess the
same
especially at the computer
in hand
my handwriting is so bad
that luckily
I have to slow down
if I want to read it later
a grand incentive to be
present
while the pen
moves along
maybe I can try typing
on computer land
with attention on one
finger and
its companion toe
(right ring finger, left ring toe, say)
while I write
ah
that "makes" me
slow down
not the worst
tragedy in the world
actually
i breathe
when i sense a finger
and a toe
what was i doing before?
the old silliness:
holding my breath
until
"it's over"
ciao
for NOW
Chris
