We must court the Presence of the Divine. We must invite the Relationship to Source.
Meditation helps us separate the fact of stress from our anxious reaction to it; it takes us deeper into the realms where language and thought lose their potency; it helps us develop compassion for ourselves. It is a way, an experience, an openness; a falling in love with a naked reality.
We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.
