Enabled: Practice Benefits

You know
What’s really fun?
What happens after
Many practice days,

For instance, when
The differences between
Each moment
Become clearer,

As when today at work
I noticed boredom
And realized in a similar context
I had felt equanimous and had relaxed

And so, I see
That the thoughts which emerge
May seem to have no relationship at all
To what’s happening.

And when I compare
One instance to another
I become so aware
And not just of then but of now.

And this highlights the present,
As well as brings forth
An insight
About the nature of thoughts,

That these phenomena
Can come and go
Without meaning anything,
Yet revealing everything

And too,
There can be
A certain pleasure
In this experience,
Which bears watching also.
