Not suppressing it, Not Pursuing it

 

We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather around us, that they may see their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer perhaps even a fiercer life because of our quiet. 

William Butler Yeats

Jon Kabat-Zinn shares this line in meditation episode #37.  He also says, "There will be a madness... can you keep your mind in the hurricane?  Can you reclaim it? Not lose it?"

As thoughts and emotions come up, you can let them go... "not suppressing it, not pursuing it."
