What Matters?

It is not about where you live;
it is about why you live.
It is not about where you are;
it is about where you are at.
It is not about what you are doing;
it is about doing it totally.

It is not what you think that matters;
it is that thinking is happening.
It is not whether I am full;
it is whether I eat fully.

If my attention is spread
it is good to be clear about that.
If my attention is scattered
is my awareness relaxed or tense.

Often times
tension creates scattering creates tension –
and then we wonder how we came to be
in the space we are in.

How can I be heard
when I do not listen?
