The antidote to blue thoughts
The only thing closer to our suffering
Is to make our body running,
To still feel our breath rushing,
To still feel our heart beating.
No matter what you do to stay on your feet
Do not allow it to drag you down into the deep
But if It’s everywhere and you cannot hide from it,
Only one thing will calm it: Compromise for a little bit!
Allow and accept its existence,
Give it your full presence,
Let it see the light and explore its essence,
Then when it is done you’ve mastered patience.
Neither pills nor drugs
Will ever make it shut up;
Either presence or self-love
Will forever keep you above.
