Attention in Meditation

Attention in meditation .. is like the fish at the end of the rod.

Every time he tries to get away ..

we feel it and we gently reel him back in.

Even if we have to do this time and time again.

Just quietly and gently we return to the task.

We sit. 
We watch. 
We remain attentive. 

We meditate.
