A Quick Reflection on a Sick Day at Home
A Quick Reflection on a Sick Day at Home

I am exhausted and I am in pain
Or literally, my body makes me exhausted and in pain
This body of mine has been striking me with pain,
Confusion, heat, and cold
Hopelessly, I am letting these evil feelings dance on “me”
This body of mine fails to defend “me”
The system that works well before
Now, opened its gate and has the sufferings streamed in from the world of distress or Dukkha
It shouts out “your body is not yours! It was lent to you!”
All of sudden, I realized I do not own the thing that I had with my birth
It is clear, ultimately I have no control of what I live within all the time
Now, I may forgot, but I know the body I claimed me is not me, even not mine.
Now, I may forgot, but I know I can live with this truth of Not-me, Owner Not and Owner-less-ness
Although I don’t know when I must return this borrowed entity
I got to remember its intrinsic borrowing limit
I must place my mind on its uncertain due day
I know I have no choice but to be very reflective.
Forgetfulness is the most deadly evil I can think of
Can’t remember the truth and fail to pay attention to the truth
Makes everything we “have” turn around against us
What a shame! What a pity!
Do I love myself? You bet!
Do I know how to love myself with sublime wisdom and compassion?
Honestly, obviously not!
A thing that is not yours but you desired to be yours with ego is pain
A thing you are entitled to use but failed to seize the chance is laziness
May all beings wake up in the light of mindfulness every morning
And have the blessings of all enlightened ones to maintain
May all beings go to bed with awareness of compassion and wisdom in each and every single evening.
