I am one of those few people that loves to meditate. It is not a chore for me, not a task I have to cross off my list. I dig it. It takes me to a place I call home.
I have found the feelings of peace and serenity so palpable, I scratched out the following words in an attempt to convey the magic of it all. Hope you enjoy it. Jay
Close my eyes to the outside world
Listen to words rattling in my head
Bouncing like ping pong balls exploding
Close my eyes to the outside world
Embrace the stillness of an inner place
Remembering ease and grace and simplicity
Close my eyes to the outside world
Create space for sacred heart stirrings
Exhaling tension and ignorance and greed
Close my eyes to the outside world
Breath deep the violet light of heaven
Connecting to you and me and to everything
Open my eyes to the inner world
Reclaim a sense of magic and wonder
Absorbing joy and purity and slow silence
Open my eyes to my true world
Recapture the scent of my long lost home
Embracing discipline and obedience and surrender
Open my eyes to the real world
Recognize it has always been here
Allowing me to merge and blend innocent
Open my eyes to the truth
Feed this soul with divine nourishment
Nudging me gently to ecstatic awareness
