There Is Only Here

Sit comfortably and notice the mind's habit of leaving the present, planning the evening, replaying the morning, daydreaming about a holiday. When you notice the mind leaving, do not scold it. Just gently bring attention back to the actual seat under you, the actual breath in your chest, the actual sounds in the actual room. Do this several times. Slowly notice that 'elsewhere' was always made of thoughts, while 'here' was always made of life. Wherever your attention finally rests, fully, that is the only real place there is.
