Caught up in a speedious, recklessly driven,
overcrowded bus,
with deafening metal music being played out,
and the driver’s gang yelled at each other carelessly…

… I breathe…

Barely made it, but I made it nonetheless.

Breathing is sure a simplest, yet almost most powerful technique, to maintain awareness :)

Thanks for the appreciation, Surjit :)

A little algebraic equation I learned from Shinzen Young…..Pain x Resistance = Suffering

You made resistance zero…therefore no suffering. Just the discomfort existed.

Good job.

Ah, yes, very nice Rizal. I would just like to add . . .

“Breathing happens, but who is it that thinks they are doing it?”

@ Shinzen: Shinzen Young? Jeez, some equation, alright. Thanks :)

@ 1Yogi2Many: who is it who would like to add? :D I am doing it. No one is doing it. Both are equal and one.
