Meditation

Although I continue to encounter challenges with my computer currently, I'm considering this Zen Card today as I move a little slower and do less ... breathing to remain calm in the face of frustration.

MEDITATION
SIT quietly.
Watch your thoughts and feelings
pass in front of you.
Relinquish
control and the desire
to get caught up in them.
See that nothing
in your life is permanent
Your thoughts,
feelings,
and perceptions
all pass before you.
If anything catches you,
gently release it,
and simply continue watching.
Daniel Levin

And so it goes :)

It's quite a challenge to get that sort of emptiness, isn't it? Well, at least it certainly is to me. I'm far too accustomed to having my mind full of endless things.

Yes Chani,
It's definitely a challenge, but we each do what we can :)
Hugs and blessings,
