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
