Marsha,
I'm curious. Have you recognized the quietness
while you meditate? When I meditate, if I find myself
walking the maze of thoughts carving something and
this is not my intent, I'll not just focus, but bring
myself back to an experience of quietness. In this
quietness all is happening, such as the music, that I
too play at times, if I'm not outside meditating.
Outside, the birds, wind, and/or creek are as the
music. I mention this quietness for it is an
experience that is always with me, so even in moments
when I'm not near music or birds, I can allow myself
is metaphorically sit back and experience this
quietness that is a real experience, as real as
kicking a rock. With this quietness always present, I
find it more continuous and reliable, one might say,
due to its' ever-presence. Due to practice and thus
familiarity with this quietness, when I'm at work or
anywhere that I want to allow myself to 'sink' into
this quietness I can. It is 'below' the surface as
the ground in which I find refuge in all situations.
just wondering.
