Pinball
Ping pong
Monkey mind
Full
Overstimulated
No room to think
Jarring
Abrupt
Painful
Depleted
Exhausted
Too much clamoring in my mind
Loud, noisy, unrelenting mind
Giant holes in my emotional safety net
Falling fast through the bottom into a dark tunnel
Grasping for the shredded strings of net on all sides of me
to try to climb back up
Then
Space
Beautiful, beautiful white space
In this place where I can breathe
To feel mental calm, clarity and cleanse my mind
Like a cool dip in clean, clear aqua waters
Swimming
Floating
The waters carry me, hold me, calm me
Quiet
White space
Nature
Breath in, breath out
And now my mind breathes too, and I see that I am not in a dark tunnel
I am here
I am well
I feel hope
For me and for my people
When my mind breathes
