Read the following passage
Amid the many horrors of the Vietnam War, I found one of
the worst to be the waiting
those quiet times of inactivity
when anticipation of the next attack weighed on me like a
pile of bricks, I might be lying in the mud along a creek bed
somewhere, completely oblivious to the cold, the wet
earth, or the smell of gunpowder still fresh in my nostrile. It
was those times of waiting that showed me i had nothing
else in my mind
no past, no future, no ideas, Just a raw
awareness of the moment.
