“The point is not the future of humanity, but the presence of eternity.” Jack Kornfield.
I’ve come more deeply into meditation than ever before lately.
I used to wonder why I did it. Why sit there, legs going numb, shoulders insisting on curling, mind wandering, feelings churning, for hours and days and ages at a time.
Because it makes a difference.
When we pass all of that noise we enter into the country of the mystery.
The very dreamscape of the essence that makes the sea from its imagination and fills it with whales and manta rays and fish that glow in the dark two miles below the shoreline.
That exists within us.
We only need get quiet, and still. To be where we are. To be fully there. Here.
And eternity, in all of its majesty, opens within us.
I believe in the power of this to transform the world. Because I perceive the devastation of the world to be a poverty of wonder. And when you live in wonder, you cherish.
Wonder binds us, body and soul, to Life in a lovers dance of savoring and revering.
To feel that way one can only be respectful. Honoring. A good steward of what has been given with that wild trust.
That could be us in our relations with ourselves, each other, and the life and being of this world with which we are woven.
If all of us lived and loved that way the world would be healed and restored immediately.
So I believe in its power and stay the course.
And it brings me home.
It will do the same for you if you let it.
Let it in.
Eternity.
Be quiet and open the doors and windows. Let the light of creation fill your whole being.
Let yourself become majestic as an act of magic on behalf of the resurrection of the garden.
We belong here.
