SEDITION

There’s a part of our brain designed to worry
It’s worth repeating,
There’s a part of our brain designed to worry.
In a healthy person, that’s it’s job.
All day long.
In the old days,
It would help keep us safe,
Keep an eye on that thunderstorm coming,
Or that lion charging out of the bush
Nowadays,
Increasingly,
We let other people use that part of our brain
For whatever they want,
To sell us a car or a drink,
Or just to make us watch them or vote for them,
Or to keep us hiding under the bed,
While they steal,
Everything.
Meditation,
Can help you choose to keep your focus where you want it.
And to see all this attention stealing,
For what it is,
A hustle.
So,
If you sit quietly,
Calmly focused on your breath,
And deliberately develop the skill to hold your attention,
Where you want it,
For however long you want to,
You are committing a very quiet but sincere act,
Of sedition.
