Meditating on Meditation.

Thinking about meditation this morning.

Meditating on meditation. I am for it. Finding the calm center in the vast storm of our existence is sort of a revelation. A simple, little thing that has major ramifications. Sort of like the flap of a butterfly's wing that turns into a hurricane.

What to say?

If you sink deep enough you realize you are more than your thoughts, more than your feelings, there is a realm inside you where thoughts and feelings are just passing clouds, not as substantial as they sometimes seem. You can still your inner voice. There is a realm below or beyond your inner voice. There is a realm of silence.

You can inhabit that silence, and it can overwhelm you. In the stillness you find a stillness. In the silence you find a silence. In the deep calm you find a profound calmness. You don't have to claim any of it. You can let all these things just pass over and thru you.

There is a point where all the human needing, wanting, grasping seem like little traps that we set for ourselves. We can sidestep the traps. No need to cling. No need to linger. No need to bind ourselves. There is an easiness of letting go. A calm, silent, awareness. It is one of the pathways to healing.
