And a good one it is! Gorgeous weather here in Eastern NC...and lots of family coming in town for Easter. Not to self...get off computer and get onto making the lamb cake! :)
Today I read more from Sally Kempton, and also checked in with one of Paul Grilley's new books. (Sidenote: those Kindles are really onto something.) She said a few things that lightened my spirit about meditiation, something I've been doing for a year and a half but only consistently (nearly daily) for about 5 months. And that is to take a step back from your average pratice or routine and view meditation as 1) an experiment and 2) as playful! She went on to portray how it made her feel this overwhelming sense of love and kindness towards people when she was on a full meditation-swing, and by that I mean times where your Self is calling you, early afternoon, later on in the day, whatever, to sit and be still and listen. Then, after those times, there is this bright and airyness, this colorful soul filled with laughter and love for anyone she encountered in the remainder of that day. Even people that used to annoy her. :) I just loved the idea that this can transform, and I think it stems from the fact that it has transformed me at times. The truth is in the pudding. Or is it the putting? I think it's both.
Gotta love it. And by that I mean everything, because we are all the same.
Love to you!
