Why Meditate?

Why to meditate? Why?

Because meditation teaches us that the sorrows of life are like water, flowing, and not nearly so solid as they may feel.

Meditation teaches us that the joys of life are like water, flowing, and somehow thus all the more beautiful and precious.

Meditation teaches us that the ‘us’ at the heart of pain and joy is not so solid either, a mere potentiality.

Meditation lets us let go to all that might hold us back from the present moment.

Meditation opens every sense of body and mind like floodgates to the present moment.

Meditation sears like a laser beam the amazing intricacies of the present moment.

I Smile. This is the last moment of life as I know it. I take joy in all good deeds that have brought me right here.

(NB. I need to do this more often!)
