I got a call from my friend D this morning who informed me that he's coming to HK for a holiday at the end of the month. He had visited me quite a few times in April during my injury. I do so enjoy our bonding moments & he really makes me laugh. Plus it'll be so nice to see a friendly face as I consider him to be a dear, dear friend.He and another friend of mine, M are both getting me to try meditation. Admittedly, I am curious. But I've always been daunted by the process. The stilling of the mind. It seems natural for humankind to constantly be thinking, making meditation the 'wildcard.' But really- what goes through people's minds when they meditate? Don't they ever get restless? What do they do when they're knee deep into meditation & suddenly feel the need to pee? So many questions.
Where some people are naturally peaceful, there are those who have their share of inner demons. (I would include myself although I seeth less & less. Bare minimum.) There are people who constantly must deposit into their 'goodness bank' to feel a sense that all is right in their world. I really don't think it makes you any less good to have these inclinations if you're fighting them. Acknowledgement is always better than concealment. For me, it always helps to remember the people I live for- my children & my mom & God has been kind enough to constantly tug at my heartstrings. It's awesome that I see much clearer now than I had in awhile.
Anyhoo going back to inti-meditation, I hope I find time to do it when I am back home and I hope I find time to
practice too. I have a better sense of my life and where it's going. I hope I do right by all those who matter.
