A Fruit Never Tasted
Una fruta nunca probada
A gentle invitation to stop struggling with difficult feelings and instead get curious about them, the way you might taste an unfamiliar fruit.
A Fruit Never Tasted
Letting everything be
Rather than talking,
all of them: thoughts, emotions, feelings,
perception, everything.
An attachment to something remaining the same, or something changing.
Let that attachment just be.
Let it be.
Moving toward the struggle
Anything that keeps pulling you into a struggle,
if anything,
get close to it.
Even the struggle itself.
The struggle is an appearance,
complex forms and sensations and thoughts.
Being curious about that aspect of experience.
The interior we know.
The subtle sense of something missing
Not as exciting,
deep,
a subtle sense of something missing, or something needing to be different.
Don't engage that with thoughts.
Engage it as a new fruit never tasted before.
What does this taste like?
What is it being that you don't want to taste?
Gently, slowly
Gently,
slowly.
Maybe it's a sensation in the body.
A sense of contraction,
a sturdiness in the mind.
