Circumstances: Pain Flow

Pain in the body,
But brought spaciousness
Of attention to it,
And felt quite comfortable,

Including everything
In my view
Filled my screen
Making pain a tiny fragment,

A seemingly irrelevant
Bit of fluff
That barely registered,
Hardly perceived.

Then, back to the body,
noticed pain in chest and back,
Looked for resistance,
But none appeared,

The discomfort
Held in acceptance
Flowed through
Without opposition,

No need for suppression
Or escape,
Simply sitting
And letting all be as is.

After that lost in thought,
For a time,
All things forgot
By the wandering mind,

Then came back to
The breath for
The last few minutes,
To hear the bell resound
And this meditation was finished.
