Growth
One can build.
Growing is different.
It is the essence of the essence
of the essence of meditation
whether or not on a cushion.
It may seem like something at the outskirts.

It is the path that is always you.
Is it empty?
Is it full?

One can build a house.
Growing is different.
One can build a career.
Growing is different.
Always different
yet always the same.
