Anicca

Things I've learned
I create my own misery
In order to free myself from my misery
I must observe life objectively and with equanimity
Be fully aware of the present moment
As it is
Not as it was
Not as I want it to be

Just letting it be
Letting myself live in the present moment
Being aware of reality
The past is not reality
The future is not reality
only now

And the pain will come
Observe and let it pass
The pleasure will come
Observe and let it pass
No craving
No aversion

Everything arises and passes
Everything is impermanent
I cause myself misery
when I become attached to those things that cause me pain
those things that have caused me pleasure
Attached to what doesn't really exist
