To be still

In a life of constant motion,

 this is an effort.

Easy to slow the body,

 but what about the mind?

Focus on one image,

 letting everything slip away.

as often as I try, I still fall right asleep
( unfortunately)

It takes practice. Learning how to do the same during a walk around takes more.

how do you tune all the noise out? this world outside is a very noisy place!

[Jon Roggie]

I find rhythms. Doesn't always work, but I get to distract myself in the attempt!

[Corset]

but the rhythms don't distract you?

[Jon Roggie]

The trick is finding the rhythms. They give a background. Gives you a chance to flow.

[Corset]

Hmmm, I probably should try that out

[Jon Roggie]

To be honest, I think I have been trying this for almost four decades.

Sitting on a hill, accepting the grey-blue layers near dust approaching.. .. then, wonder if..

Even one's lashes still because the mind has drifted .. .. .. somewhere.. .. .. There's not a fear, not a smile.. not discomfort.. not even hope.. there is what there is..

Lovely. This would be a nice addition.
