.
Meditation is not an avoidance strategy.
.
Sitting on the cushion and letting everything be
is not an escape from the responsibilities
of living an engaged life in challenging times.
.
When meditation is no longer something you do,
but a natural expression of who you are,
it encompasses everything—
and misses nothing at all.
.
Sitting in wholeness is the jewel that unfolds
when you know you’ve taken care of business,
and followed the quiet dictates of the heart.
.
It is a recharging of the subtle energies
that carry the soul forward into ever-new territory—
plugged into the creative vortex
at the heart of creation.
