*Breathe*

*Good*

*Breathe*

*Calm the mind*

*You're doing well*

*I am very calm*

*I'm actually quite impressed with just how calm and empty of thought my...*

*damn*

*Breathe*

*Better*

*Just don't let your mind wander*

*Breathe*

*Like last time*

*When you started thinking about why you always seem to lose your socks*

*Just how do they all go missing?*

*I must lose a pair of socks every week!*

*Well next week...dammit. Focus!*

*Focus*

*Focus*

*Well focus is the wrong word, really I want to defocus, focus on nothing*

*Defocus*

*Yeah*

*We must have been sitting for a while now*

*My legs are starting to hurt*

*Sensei will ring the bell any minute now*

*Any*

*Minute*

*Now*

*DAMMIT FOCUS!*

*JUST LIKE LAST TIME YOU'RE THOUGHTS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE*

*YOU'RE COMPLETELY INCAPABLE OF CALMING YOUR THOUGHTS EVEN FOR A MOMENT*

*...*

*Breathe*

*Focus*

*Defocus?*
