Only Quiet
I've found that the hardest thing for me to master is physical pain.
Because it speaks more loudly to body, mind, and soul.
I cannot shout it down nor forcibly push it away.
But in steady patience and humility
I can last it out with equanimity.
And once it becomes quiet
That quiet will be
The only thing
That ever
was.
