“Walking is the great adventure, the first meditation, a practice of heartiness and soul primary to humankind. Walking is the exact balance between spirit and humility.”

Calm State Of Mind
alone at his
favorite
outdoor table
while quietly
thinking …
blocking out the
sounds of the
traffic and
people passing by
… completely focused
on the other world
that he knows
will never happen
A Sight For Sore Eyes
Saturday morning, he goes down to his favorite bakery to buy a couple of bran muffins and a coffee to go. As he is waiting for his order to be finished, he hears the bell atop the door ring, and what he sees is his ex-girlfriend from a few years back. It immediately brought back some bad memories, and now he’s at a loss for words.
They looked at each other, neither one said a word, and when his order was ready, he paid for his stuff, and left the premises. All the way home, he he wished that he never went out. When he finally arrives at his home, he puts the muffins on the counter, then go to his spot on the floor and meditate, knowing that it will clear up his head.

David M. Bader Quote
Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?
~David M. Bader – Zen Judaism
Music
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation. Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. -Kabir
Just Thinking
There’s the saying(s) “time goes by to fast,’ “where did the time go?’ “time sure flies when you are having fun,” etc, etc.
If you ever want time to go by slow, pull up a chair, sit, relax and give the clock your undivided attention, and witness time passing by.
Call it meditation by clock.
Sleep
“Sleep is the best meditation.”
Dalai Lama
Man
Reading makes a full man,
meditation a profound mind,
discourse a clear man.
Benjamin Franklin

Meditation
Meditation is not about finding the self–quite the contrary: it is about finding one’s way beyond the self. Meditation is also not about ‘explaining the mind’. It is instead about clearing away clutter created by the mind. — David M. White

Do not let pleasure distract… – Buddha
Do not let pleasure distract you
From meditation, from the way.
Free yourself from pleasure and pain.
-Buddha
Amazing, Isn’t It, How Some People…
Amazing, isn’t it, how some people see the basket half empty and others see it half full? Some see life hopeless, others hopeful. Even when things are less than perfect, if you can think of the good, the beautiful, the hopeful, you’ll be more than sustained–you’ll conquer.

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap!
