Make A List Of What Is Really

When Awareness Embraces The Senses, It Enlivens Them.

In Its Outward Manifestation, Meditation Appears To Involve Either Stopping, By Parking The Body In A Stillness That Suspends Activity, Or Giving Oneself Over To Flowing Movement. In Either Case, It Is An Embodiment Of Wise Attention, An Inward Gesture Undertaken For The Most Part In Silence, A Shift From Doing To Simply Being. It Is An Act That May At First Seem Artificial But That We Soon Discover, If We Keep At It, Is Ultimately One Of Pure Love For The Life Unfolding Within Us And Around Us.

Meditation Is Like Farming... The Right Soil Is Required To Grow Anything, Nothing Will Grow If The Soil Is Polluted By Striving Or Pushing Too Hard.

The Real Meditative Practice Is To Open Up To The Full Range Of What Happens In Life. And Parenting Is A Fantastic Arena For Doing That Kind Of Spiritual Training. It's As Much A Potential Door Into Enlightenment As Anything Else.

Dying Without Actually Fully Living, Without Waking Up To Our Lives While We Have The Chance, Is An Ongoing And Significant Risk.
