A monk dwells contemplating the body in the body, ardent, clearly comprehending and mindful, overcoming covetousness and grief in the world;

He dwells contemplating the feelings in the feelings, ardent, clearly comprehending and mindful, and putting aside greed and distress with reference to the world;

He dwells contemplating the states of mind in the states of mind, ardent, clearly contemplating and mindful, overcoming covetousness and grief in the world;

He dwells contemplating thoughts and perceptions in the thoughts and perceptions, ardent, clearly contemplating and mindful, overcoming covetousness and grief in the world.

I can be infinitely more relaxed than I am.
I can be infinitely more sensitive to my sensations.
I can be breathed.
I can be open to a thought from above.

I have heard trees talking, long after the sun has gone down:

Imagine what would it be like to dance close together 

In this land of water and knowledge…

To drink deep what is undrinkable.
