Closer

Closer: 

not quite, but ever closer now - forgiveness is becoming the default network mode for my expression, a soft replacement for the previous underlying replay of grievances and judgement. There'a deeper experience of peace, a background more free of the ego's chatter. For years my meditation was left on the cushion, it's a profound practice that quite literally saved my life, but in between those peaceful sittings my mind would fill with the daily itinerary of complaints it just didn't want to let go of. This was really just background noise, a constant play of comparisons, complaints, wishes and demands. Ego chatter. My practice of meditation helped soften this to a murmur, yet it's forgiveness that brings me to a deeper silence known. The reason is that forgiveness, practiced truly, instantly replaces every thought the ego has with a quick response from Holy Spirit, which is actually the silence of the mind itself. It's becoming habitual now, decades of practice, moment after moment of choosing this return to love - and now, finally, it feels more of a continuous meditation, a mantra of sincere repetition that erases every background noise that the ego wishes to entertain for more than just the briefest, briefest moment. Yes, I'm still drawn to clatter of ego's noise, just never for to long before it's silenced by a few forgiving words.

there's always a safe return to a quite mind.

it's almost automatic.

not quite...

but getting ever closer now.
