Merely sitting on your can
with eyes closed
with legs crossed
while supposedly “controlling ‘your’ thoughts from a distance”
(in order to get something)
is not it.

Some states cannot be forced, controlled … only invited, encouraged … being still can be “productive” (no matter the position of legs …)
What is it that is being invited? We have to be very careful with this as it is a very subtle thing wherein the mind can easily trick itself and grope after preconceived states. Being still is wise but if it is merely done for results then it is tainted. 🙂
Nicely put and shot!
Thank you, Belinda! He was a little bugger! 🙂
haha Well said. 🙂
Thanks much, Scifi! That fruitfly almost looks to be sitting. 🙂
Yes – an amazing shot. 🙂
completely right, Thomas, nice “poem” as usual with a lot of ulterior motives, greets to Tweetie
Thank you, Mitza! Humans are full of all kinds of ulterior motives it seems. I’ll say something to Tweetie and Scarlet for you! 🙂 Just gave them some new, fun toys recently which they like a lot!
Ha ha … and that big insect is a diminutive fruit fly? Wow!
I much prefer to see them outdoors like this, Linda, rather than when they sneak into the house. 🙂
This one got me to laugh out loud!
Meditation can be done in various ways, leg cross is not necessary. We do everything to achieve something, even a plant or an insect. Invite you to my blog https://tantraplusyoga.wordpress.com for better understanding of meditation.
Very true!!
