don't tell me to stop the car
don't slam the door in my face and leave
with your emotions dragging you behind them as if
you were a puppet and they - wild horses, or
as if you were dead and at mercy of everything and everyone,
unable to react to what they're doing with your
dead body
hey, you are here now, and alive!
let's sit with your emotions and all those dragging thoughts
let's watch them settle
let's breathe together until the sky is blue again
and we are a happy mountain which just sits there,
undisturbed by the storms of impulses
and thoughts which, really, don't need to be followed,
if we CHOOSE not to follow, so
don't tell me to stop the car
let's breathe together until the sky
is blue again...

This poem 'showed up' in me one night, unexpectedly, in celebration of completing the Compassion Practitioner Certificate Course with Mindfulness Association Ltd and Mindfulness Association Poland in Warsaw, July 2016. If you like it, feel free to share it with your friends :)
A big THANK YOU to all the group and the teachers <3
