What does it mean?
I don't think I've ever had one
What would it look like?
Remaining still with mind racing?
Sounds like Discipline to me
Staying calm as demons come pouring into the room?
Seems like Courage
Quietly weeping on my cushion?
Isn't that what I'm supposed to be doing?
A Bad sit
I'll have to sit with that
I don't think I've ever had one
