Seriously?
Go somewhere
with a group
of people
to meditate?
Some friends of mine,
and I,
went on a road trip
this past weekend
and the subject
of meditation
came up.
One friend invited
the other two of us
to go some place,
some where,
to go participate
in meditation,
or learn to meditate,
or….
I got lost
in translation.
It’s made me think
a lot of what THAT means,
just like I don’t know
what the hell
Prayer really is.
To me,
when I consciously
spend time
intentionally letting go
of the daily worries
of life
and choose to be
one with myself,
THAT is meditation.
Meditation to me
invokes peace,
and calm,
and quiet.
I can do it in a car,
I can do it in a bar.
When he said
GO SOMEWHERE
to meditate,
I immediately
shut my ears
and privately
was thinking:
LA LA LA LA LA LA
I CAN’T HEAR YOUUUUUUU….
To each his own.
I seriously think
you can change
your physical traits
just by deciding
to be in a certain
state of mind.
Like,
if I am nervous
about something,
and I breathe in,
then breathe out,
and just say to myself:
CALMMMMMMMMM DOWN,
then my heart slows down,
shoulders relax,
and my psyche
takes my body
to another place.
It’s magic
that we don’t
regularly enough
tap into to.
I also think
that we can use our energy
to connect with others
even when they
are in a different country.
It happened today
at coffee.
I was talking about
how lucky I was
to have such a
sane and balanced daughter,
and about how she
and I have a magical connection
that is beyond words.
I shut up,
but ALMOST said:
“I love,
miss,
and respect her
so much,
and I think she
feels the same way”.
But I did NOT
say anything,
because I felt THAT
was a little arrogant.
A TEXT
comes in
on the phone:
“Hey Daddy,
I love you
and miss you,
Have a Good Day!”
Believe it,
and they will text!
Who’s your baby daddy?
