This is not home
This carpet, this bed
This endless rumble of traffic
This blasting air-con
This bathroom
So I sit
Face the wall
And in awareness
Meet myself
Come home
The sun rises
And birds sing

Not just science or religion - Accepting Uncertainty

One time several years ago I was traveling on business, pitching venture capitalists on a new idea. The pitches weren't going well and when we returned to the hotel in the late afternoon, my mind was totally freaked out - unstable, paranoid, all the usual stuff.
Then practice kicked in and I began noticing the room - the wall is beige, the carpet is brown, the bedspread is red, the cabinet is brown, etc. Really, I just returned home and, in so doing, all the anxiety and weirdness fell away.
Saved by practice, once again...
Thanks for your comments. And for your sharing Barry!
There's no home other than where you are...no coming, no going, no staying. But having said that, hope you go home soon!
