Meditation is not trying to sit motionless

Meditation is not trying to be peaceful

Meditation is not trying to relax

Meditation is not trying to 'be'

Meditation is not trying.

Meditation is an effortless game

in which thoughts keeps attempting

to get our full attention

and make us react to them

and we keep learning

how to remain calm

and let them say what they want

while bringing our attention back

to where it truly belongs -

in our heart.

As we master the art

of resting in our heart

and we learn how to choose

to fully inhabit our body

instead of just our mind

then the thoughts stop wanting to play

and the game comes quietly to it's end.
