A moments true meditation:
to attend to my sorrows, allow my joy its time to be, and simply give space to what appears in life without need for immediate call to change - this is a moments true meditation, to just allow what is, right now, it's motion to unfold.
this too includes my desire to escape certain moments, to avoid what comes through suffering, to leave unpleasant thoughts alone. I have no will to be stoic in all circumstances, and don't welcome any cause to suffer. There is a strong wish in us all to be happy, and keep the pain of life to some minimum that's easy to endure.
so, I sit with this too, my moment of escape, allowing its fantasy to play its length, no wish to alter its appeal, nor push these thoughts aside. Everything settles in its own time. This isn't a test of my resolve. It's just sitting with what is, a non-interference to what the moment brings.
what I find, sitting like this for some time, is that my life, aside from sitting, becomes a true meditation of its own. I am more responsive, and less reactive to what appears in life, a more subtle approach unfolds completely on its own. What I find is that everything belongs in its due time, and this includes my every thought and action.
I find myself free.
each moment is a true meditation, open, and allowing by its nature- my response is equal to this measure, belonging just as well and truly. There is no escape, and in someway I'm always sitting with what is, an attending presence that offers deep assurance. No one endures alone. This moment, no matter appears, is our connection.
we all attend together.
