Flat As A Tack

Can you appreciate what is when you feel bored to death?

————

It can be disarming. Even dangerous. This anti-feeling.

Is it boredom? 

Or more?

An avid disinterest in everything, really. 

It slowly sneaks up on me, in my meditations, like a fog blanket;

Thick

Slurred

Smothered 

Then I can’t think. Just can’t feel - which is even worse.

Is it cured by sleep? 

It isn’t easily fixed by distraction 

Although that can sometimes be a way out.

I think I’ll take a walk when the sky is still light

Eye the rhododendrons 

Appreciate their colour 

Climb out of this flatness

That steals my joy.
