Meditation Is Simply About Being Yourself And

Life On Earth Is A Whole, Yet It Expresses Itself In Unique Time-bound Bodies, Microscopic Or Visible, Plant Or Animal, Extinct Or Living. So There Can Be No One Place To Be. There Can Be No One Way To Be, No One Way To Practice, No One Way To Learn, No One Way To Love, No One Way To Grow Or To Heal, No One Way To Live, No One Way To Feel, No One Thing To Know Or Be Known. The Particulars Count.

Perhaps We Just Need Little Reminders From Time To Time That We Are Already Dignified, Deserving, Worthy. Sometimes We Don't Feel That Way Because Of The Wounds And The Scars We Carry From The Past Or Because Of The Uncertainty Of The Future. It Is Doubtful That We Came To Feel Undeserving On Our Own. We Were Helped To Feel Unworthy. We Were Taught It In A Thousand Ways When We Were Little, And We Learned Our Lessons Well.

Mindfulness Is Not About Getting Anywhere Else.

Non-doing Has Nothing To Do With Being Indolent Or Passive. Quite The Contrary. It Takes Great Courage And Energy To Cultivate Non-doing, Both In Stillness And In Activity. Nor Is It Easy To Make A Special Time For Non-doing And To Keep At It In The Face Of Everything In Our Lives Which Needs To Be Done.

"what Is My Job On The Planet?" Is One Question We Might Do Well To Ask Ourselves Over And Over Again. Otherwise, We May Wind Up Doing Somebody Else's Job And Not Even Know It. And What's More, That Somebody Else Might Be A Figment Of Our Own Imagination, And Maybe A Prisoner Of It As Well.
