Sit and be still
until in the time
of no rain you hear
beneath the dry wind's
commotion in the trees
the sound of flowing
water among the rocks,
a stream unheard before,
and you are where
breathing is prayer.
Simone Weil: the rarest and purest form of attention, in its purest form, is like prayer'
From Hugh Byrne's Sunday, 31 January 2021 Insight live meditation: 'Am I placing my attention on fueling my anger, fueling my anxiety? Paying attention to serve what intention? Is my attention imbued with 'kindness' with 'compassion'? Compassionate Attention', 'wise mindfulness?'.
Suggestion to allow my attention to lightly focus alternately on body, on feelings, on thoughts, on sounds...then on a larger perspective..
