Let the Breath Be Your Thought

Meditation tends to cut through unnecessary thought chatter, subconscious gossip, and mental duplicity. It’s not immediate, and because of that your approach is simple-minded: just be with your breath, just be with your body. Sit down, and don’t try to think of anything else. Let the breath be your thought.

From “Surrender,” in Cynicism and Magic: Intelligence and Insight on the Buddhist Path, page 43.
