The Quiet of Meditation

by chris, February 19, 2006

Every day is a day for revelation.
But, revelation is just another word for awareness

So, today, while sitting in the chair in the relaxation room, I looked to the left and into the Japanese room. It is winter, and cold, and I only open this room on sunny days.

Well, today is a sunny day. And, the sun that came through the “paper” doors presented an illusion of warm peace to an otherwise cold room. Luckily, the heat was on, and the warmth of the moment overcame the cold of the room.

I asked myself, “Where do I want to be?” “What are we all working for?” And I became aware that this, this moment, was the moment we were all searching for. Quiet.

Unfortunately, this kind of peace and quiet also brings fear. Many people are afraid of this quiet. It is the quiet of meditation. It is the quiet before the moment of awareness when we have to look inside ourselves.
