Meditation

Things are looking up. My friend has made a near full recovery. He is doing much better, and is scheduled to come home in a few days. Talk about a wake up call for me. Faced with the possibility of him no longer being here, I was forced to take a look at myself in ways I haven't before. Spirituality is an amazingly personal experience, and too often lends itself towards leaning on others. I must begin to stand on my own two feet, my own convictions, and cultivate my own relationship with Creation. I decided awhile ago that the next few months would be a period of personal change and discovery. I hadn't really considered the total impact of that choice - but it's interesting how destiny provides for what we need.

I have decided to make a comittment to myself to begin meditating daily. The meditation I have been initiated into at Summum calls for one to put aside the time at least twice per day, for at least 30 minutes each time. There are days that I do that, most often I do not. I have up until now haphazardly meditated, whenever I 'found' the time, instead of dedicating the time to it. Meditation is by far, one of the most significant, important discipline that we can do with our time. It is what opens us to our essence. I have been away far too long, and I intend to seek out and open that door. Can there be a more worthy cause?
