If we observe ourselves as we go through our day, we’ll notice that there’s an underlying restlessness that we carry with us all the time or that seems to carry us all the time. When we’re doing something, we’ll be thinking of something else – something else that we should be doing or want to be doing or thinking or feeling. And when we’ve finished, we want to do something else and then something else and then something else. We’re not very good at doing nothing, at just sitting and breathing. Even when there isn’t anything really important to do, when we are free to rest, we want to talk, to get tactile whether with our own body or someone else’s or something else’s like a dog’s. And when we sit in meditation and watch our breath, thoughts come to mind and we want to engage with them and we do. And we find we want to really get into the stories of our thoughts and feelings and bodily sensations. Watching them is not enough. We want to get into their stories. Our restlessness is the result of our attachments to all the other things that we think we should be doing or are so helplessly addicted to (including thinking) and we have an aversion to just being here, now. But these attachments and aversions rob us of the peace and freedom and joy that is found in our being-ness, in our awareness, in presence!
