The wise ones told us
to wash dishes
while washing dishes;
be mindful,
and not let
the mind wander,
for a wandering mind
is a life
half lived.
They also said
that diaphragmatic breathing
is a cure for all
that ails us, and perhaps,
this world too.
They just forgot to mention
one small detail -
when you are hurting within,
mindfulness of breathing
is a thought
that is farthest away
from one’s reach.
