I've come across this quote three or four times within the last few weeks, most recently in this book review:



The past isn't dead; it isn't even past - William Faulkner







(Not quite sure what life is saying to me with this one.)

Meditation

How long to sit for meditation?

As I am very restless, here's what I tell myself -

When we meditate, we experience the Now, only this moment, always this moment, the Now.

That one single moment holds everything, Infinity, all of time and space within it.

Therefore, what does it matter how long meditation lasts by external time measures? Even one minute is enough to experience the timeless state of Now.

Where Does Time Go?

I had so much I wanted to do today, and I'm only barely into my list. Sigh.

I have at least four grants that must be written and soon. But I've spent today cruising the web and finding new blogs to follow. Sometimes that's important too. I console myself with the idea that it is all writing-related and therefore useful.

One thing I've learned in life is that sometimes we think we'll walk down one path but suddenly find ourselves on another - often exactly where we need to be.

So perhaps I've just found the blog of my next wonderful new friend or perhaps an idea that will finally become that book. Who knows?

No matter what, life is good.
