The Paradox of Mindfulness | Psychology Today

Listen to poem:

*Image of Paradox of a Mindfoolness. Irreconcilable Paradox The midnight sun casts about clear shadows amidst a twilight noon, 'tis yesterday. The windy gale brews, astir none to wake the quietude, America's Guy Fawkes Day. Watched I the beautiful orange sunset rise up above the rolling hills flat opened field. Leaving my umbrella sorted at home, danced I out into the deluged rain spots yield. Ambling I briskly stood alone in a crowd, as a quandary cleared ere me from behind. Menacing maintaining all matters determined found I at a total loss to ideas sublime. Brooding of the things I yet can do yesterday, I hurried along to finalize nothing else. In my rush to the airport, boards I, a train that went the other way past fields of elms. My new schedule should get me to my appointment in the nick of time, one day late. Know I will get that new job for 'tis the first time work I there as of prior' year to date. Been unemployed for straight five years, works I out and in exclusively hands-on daily. My legs are stronger as a direct cause of that makes me feel sick for I am e'er healthy. Speaking on health, the car insurance is fully paid but wonders I, much is still owed. On the subject of owing, our daughter's graduation day is today, four candles a-glowed. The court speaking, arrangement rose criminal charges the prosecution, never violets. Friends and I went to a drive-in, saw an old film just cast, our Model-T's all on autopilots. In the end, we all walked out as unconditional strangers, familiarities sensed a oneness. E.g.; If hail treasures of an emptied chest wouldst naught crusheth e'er emphatic dream. Thence bandied wordings lay straightforwardly ere wee tilt scale rove archaic extreme. The farcical tale wove abstractly, yet absolutes resolved parodies sage distinctiveness. 2022 February 15 *1st Place* This or That, Vol 10 ~~Edward Ibeh: Judged 2022 March 02 *NOTE: I've portrayed the extremities of paradoxes distinctive values as self-defining based on its own merits, my placement via its close proximity to its opposite, validifies that point, whereto, abstracts become absolutes distinguishing their individualism.

Reading this wonderful poem I felt as if I am in a conundrum of paradoxes ..... all upside down . This ambivalence is so puzzling ! Great entry for the contest, Hilo !
