she wasn't always Pema Chodron
Batman Buddhist monk grandmother on Halloween
sensory deprivation, silent for a year
has more room in her mind as a result
(tiny Mama
wrinkled, laughing)
distractions are not just outer phenomena
our cravings and longings are distractions
fully present
wide awake
seeing and hearing, tasting and feeling
without any screen between you and the object
to be there for other people
in increasingly difficult situations
