I sit,
wait for nothing to happen in particular,
knowing so well the drift of listless time,
enjoying the suspension of moments
and how everything stirs
from sleep into wakefulness.
I heard the call of meditation,,
it's clarity and seductive stance;
the coast is clear,
so still more I wait,
in stillness.
Love the feeling of stillness which has often been my own balm. Captured so well. As David so accurately stated "to be content in time and with time is a true gift."
It beats just sitting there waiting to die like so many lost minds.
Ah the lovely comments received in the vacuum of a suspended mind ( which I managed to wrench myself out of to be replaced by daily living).
Keith, I often how we savour inactivity in our different ways, so its nice to have an ally in this, thanks.
Brian, I forgot to mention I was gazing down at slippers ..... cheers.
Yes David, you do make an important point. The mind is really is what is most at risk, but yoga and its followers seems to link the physical balance and stillness with a mental freeing up . I have experienced it, and having done so, have to resurrect it when in states of agitation. I'll get my coat.
Thank you all for the likes: MGS, Kevin, Anya and Dorothy.

That's retirement for you Ray...I expect you had enough practise to embrace it by now.
Ray,
An Ode to Inertia. I often find myself in such moments of suspensión. You are not alone..
I enjoyed this. Thank you
Keith

Phil. I'm pleased you took this on board. I'm convinced we have to tame ourselves or become overwhelmed. How that works is an individual thing. All the best. Thanks for the like Frances. Ray
