The act of meditation is taking a stand. Instead of shunning the value of our inner lives. We must become more involved. To evolve we need to take the courageous step back inwards. And face directly into ourselves with openness and curiosity. When we do, that unknown, distant, undisclosed part of us changes. Hidden things become visible, fearful things become understandable. And a truth is suggested, something always in the room is acknowledged. The enigmatic presence of the fullness of a human life looks back at us invitingly from the depths of our Self. Revealing to us that our tenancy here is welcome, secure and beautifully furnished.
