Birds in the Heart - Clouds and Fog

Unrealistic thinking is like clouds and fog,
floating over here for a while,
floating over there for a while.
After the rain comes down,
the clouds and fog vanish without a trace;
they do not exist any more.
The way to counteract fantasizing and
unrealistic thinking of this sort, is just like this;
pay no attention to it, and all will be fine.
Or, you can do more sitting meditation,
practicing of Buddha mindfulness,
or reciting Buddha's name.
Through contemplation and reflection,
you and gain insight into the illusory nature of all things;
and clearly perceive that your unrealistic thoughts
are merely unreal images.
They appear and disappear again.
The important thing is to take hold of your true goal in life,
and walk forward on the road to ultimate awakening.
