Poem
Nothing is Enough //
Or everything is not enough. //
I have a hunger... ////
The hunger is me. //
If I feed it, it wants more. //
Mostly, it wants something else. ////
A wise person, said STOP. //

SHORTY: greed and distress without greed and distress
I missed a big part of the four foundations of mindfulness. Each foundation asks that I rest in the foundation in and of itself, without greed and distress for the world.
Lately, I've noticed that I was mindful but full of greed and distress.
It flipped with more awareness.
I was no longer adding greed and distress to the feelings of greed and distress. And that allowed the greed and distress to lessen.
