Poem:

My ultima is to sit in mystery and not to blink. To pay attention for a long time and look deep into space. To sit still like a rock the whole time. Bliss will be my data. I can give a present to myself at Christmas. I can engage in heightened commentary like Emily while withdrawn. I can make meditation my pastime.
