I remember meditating for many hours
daily at meditation retreats in
serene, isolated locations.
I remember feeling like I’d attained
the desired unshakable calm,
blissed out from all the hours of
going deeper and deeper in the
depths of my ever expanding mind
only to have my illusionary
unshakable calm shattered back
in the real world with its inherent
daily stresses and strains.
