Sensation

Take this sensation

And shrink it down

To the size of a stone

Hold it tightly in your hand

Until it becomes you

Not a part

An object you can use

A passing emotion

Subject to vagaries

No

This feeling is here to stay

Even when you must

Remind yourself

Even when you think

You dreamt it

Even when there is

Nothing good

It is still there

You are still there

Thoughts

I’ve had some great students in my time teaching and some kind and thoughtful gifts. This is a favourite that I use everyday. Back before we knew it was Grogu. That reminds me. What happened to The Mandalorian Season 4?
