How is mediation counter to great passion? Is
that your implication?
To be calm and alert is to know when one feels
calm, excited, angry, sad, a mixed of more than one,
etc... Without being alert to what's happening, to
not even know one is experiencing or experiences great
passion might be called not experiencing great
passion.
I would say painting is meditation for meditation
is attention to something specifically definable, even
if it is not completely definable. Zazen, what I like
to practice, is alertness, but not on anything in
particular. I hear a bird, well, when a bird is
present to be heard. Now, if I where to concentrate
on the bird song specifically, well then I've begun to
meditate, I'm focused on something specific.
evening,
