Pilgrim Walk 8 - Finding Rest in Illusion

The joy you want, the pain you prevent -
Are simply dreams.  Not even for an instant
Should you think them true.

When moving, sitting, eating, walking, speaking,
Tell yourself with undistracted mindfulness,
'It's all a dream.'

Whatever may appear, whatever you may do or think,
Never lose the thought that it is but a dream.
