emotive spinup

“what do you see in front of you?”

friends, family fighting
always being mean
making me feel so bad..

“that is the emotional object”
“what else do you see?”

(sighs)
i see a window
glass cracked
snow falling

“yes, it’s a little cold today”
(smiles)
“spring is coming”
“what else do you see?”

(enthusiasm creeps into voice)
the tv in the living room
it’s quiet, a cartoon
two rolling cans..

“two rolling cans?”

yes

“very good”
“when you look inside yourself”
“and listen to the quiet”
“can you heard a sound in the stillness?”

..yes..

songs sung wistful
blissful joys
and gladness in your heart
