People Living in my Head
Texas Vipassana, 2009
I have countless people in my life
Yet thankfully few live in my head
Oh they sometimes enter into my thoughts
But few move in, few lounge
When they do, I battle them out
What I realize in sitting for flowy still time
Is that I can rearrange any person in my head
To be anyone in my life
I can create full stories
I can take their words and twist them to mean anything
I can create entire worlds with them
Any one person can become my entire world
If I allow it
I allow myself the pleasure of letting in anyone who joins me in the silence
Certain people lounge
Certain people come in and wave at a distance
I am amazed at how many people have entered my life
Faces and bodies and stories distract me
From observing my breath
But I know that in order to really observe my breath
I need to first allow these people to join me
To hear what they have to say
And then return to my breath, alone.
