The Buddha statue is a reminder
(The Buddha and all buddhas are reminders)
silent, still, and sitting in eternity
put it where you can see it
and when you are frenetically eating
or mind-less as you wash the dishes
you can see the buddha
compassionately sitting with you, but not looking at you, not condemning
just sitting
sitting silently, doing nothing
letting you know, that it is ok
to go nowhere
to do nothing
to be nothing
