Meditations

To wander on Wednesdays;
To sit quietly
by the shoreline of stillness;
To drop my mind down
below the surface chatter -
The radio waves of thought
and their compulsive agitations:
The insult channel; the gossip channel;
the channel of panic and confusion.
To drop down into the
deep quiet from which
 all wisdom comes.
To rest in awareness
of all that is here.
I do not long for more projects
 or lists,
No more doing

or ideas for doing.

I only want this.

This.

The holy embrace of the day.

(Special thanks to my dear friend Lori, who helped me take out my schedule and block out this time.  Tell me friends, how do you make time and space for stillness, contentment, for belonging and for love?)
