Stillness
Quiet
Peace
Listening
Pondering
Reflecting
Lots of words for something we don’t embrace as a
culture. I remember our friend Yim talking about how in Thailand they begin to
teach meditation to kindergarten children and the first block of time was 15
minutes.
15 minutes… I wonder if I can do that. If I can sit
for 15 minutes and not think. If I can
just be quiet.
There is so much going on in my mind. Quiet does not
seem to be much of a possibility. I am
going to try. A moment. A moment of
quiet. A moment with the dogs not barking, the phone not ringing, a moment with
only silence.
I think things are at a place such a thing is
possible.
I will let you know how it goes….
Hoping.
