Poem: A Lodger For The Night

This original spoken word poem uses the metaphor of a sandstorm to describe the crowded, overthinking mind, especially for the beginner meditator. We are overcome, as thoughts sweep in furiously like a sandstorm, but if we sit with those thoughts they blow out as fast as they came in. Through the meditation practice, we can know peace – a tranquil mind is waiting on the other side of our overthinking sandstorms.
