MEDITATIONS ON MEDITATION

MEDITATIONS ON MEDITATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sit, spine aligned with the spine of the earth, breath flowing like an endless river, each inhale a promise, each exhale a letting go. Mind becomes an empty sky, clouds of distraction float by— I watch them, not clinging, just witnessing, watching the sun of awareness rising. Time bends, the clock dissolves into the ether, and in this space, I am both lost and found. In the soft embrace of stillness, I taste the sweetness of presence, the clarity of the moment, wrapped in the silence of the now. Meditation, a bridge to the infinite, where my mind learns to rest, and my spirit unfurls, finding solace in the spaces between. I continue breathing, a simple act, yet profound as the stars, reminding me that stillness is not absence, but the fullness of being. I return again and again to this sanctuary carved from silence where thoughts dissolve and the soul awakens ever present, ever now.

Very lovely. Meditation can be healing and enlightening. Oneness with God is our ultimate goal, both conscious and unconscious in the same ever-present moment. God is our identity.
