TAMING MY OWN DRAGON MIND
Catching the wind in a net
Or reversing a river’s flow
Are simple and easy tasks
Compared to taming my
Own out of control ego mind.
I watch it closely the way
One would watch an ancient
And treacherous dragon—
Who has so many tricks
And ways of deceiving me,
Who has so many moods
That nothing can be predicted—
As unstable as a volcano,
And powerful beyond measure—
It is too big to tie down,
Too strong to catch,
Too stubborn and set in its
Ways to listen to reason,
Calm and purring one moment,
Then fierily dangerous the next.
So with a loving attitude,
Positive, committed and clear,
I work to tame this dragon mind
With gentle persistence—
I coax it with meditation,
I watch how it moves and works
With the torchlight of contemplation,
Ever seeking to understand
The heart of this wild beast and
Get to know it's true nature—
I am slowly penetrating to the
Very essence of my own dragon mind,
Making friends by being loving and kind,
Patient and forgiving, knowing that the
Dragon and I have always been one.
