A Few Thoughts on Verse #2



Our steps possess nothing save for
moments touched upon the
earth.
And so we hold the
world in motion.


Our stride is light and shines with meaning.

~

From Verse 2. I love the thought of running free of all internal possessions. Or as much as we may be capable of while still present on earth. That's the goal of meditation - to have a mind that doesn't cling to thought forms and emotions. This is often a point of confusion as many believe that meditation is the absent of thought and that once a certain point is reach we are free of emotion. In truth, freedom is found not in the absence of these qualities but in our refusal to cling to them as a state of permanence. We become the witness to our own internal process and are able to play lightly within the spaciousness that we discover.

Peace,
Eric
