Sometimes, if conditions are such
that we feel free from the
pressures of life and things
don’t feel like they are
heating us up to the point of boiling,
or freezing us to the point of rigidity,
the mind can be quite spacious,
like a gas, expanding infinitely
and subsuming whatever occurs within it,
or like water, flowing freely,
unimpeded over and around boulders
and other obstacles in our path.
– Jon Kabat-Zinn
