Let go of your worries.
and be completely clear-hearted,
like the face of a mirror.
that contains no images.
If you want a clear mirror,
behold yourself
and see the shameless truth,
which the mirror reflects.
If metal can be polished
to a mirror-like finish,
what polishing might the mirror
of the heart require?
Between the mirror and the heart
is this single difference:
the heart conceals secrets,
while the mirror does not.

I have tried yoga and found it very, very difficult. Meditation is better suited for me. I try to meditate daily, it helps me to be calm and concentrate on what is important in my life.

Some days I feel so bad
The mirror holds no secrets
I lost the best thing that I had…
