A Minute of Meditation

Writer's picture: Sharada RaviSharada Ravi


Marching bands in straight lines

Naughty rhesus monkeys climbing trees

Pink and purple flowers entwined

Betwixt a DJ, dance floor and me


Chaos.

Shifts to the calm cloudless sky

On a mid summer morning

Cornflower blue blending to candy floss

Flashes of childhood carnival days

Playful glee, camaraderie and energy.


Abort.

Slow breaths in and out

Again, again, and again.

The mind wonders, isn’t it easy?

Choppy breaths morph into curses

A blink, a flinch, rewind, attempt to restart.


A long sigh.

This cycle continues.

Fidgeting and battling a ceaseless war

Against the monkey and the monk.

The inner monk who preaches peace

And the rebellious monkey craving freedom
