easy enough to count
the breaths
to breathe in
breath out
one
feel the tension
in your whole body–
make it tense
on purpose
two
and let it go
feeling muscles
go limp
droop
three
you did this
to yourself
or your body did it
to you
four
and now you have to
find some way to
even it all out
wait, what number–
one
Words and Feathers 
perfect description of how my meditation goes. 🙂 how difficult to quiet the mind, and so splendidly done.
And you would think that something you do unconsciously, such as breathing, would be easy to track, since you can’t stop doing it. Monkey mind.
(sometimes drunken) monkey mind 🙂
