-- MEDITATION – John Herlihy Meditation Does the drop the ocean feel Does the ocean the drop steal Drops allow the ocean to exist The ocean but drops that persist Meditation The mind a drop in the ocean Each drop as misty devotion Into the ocean of spirit blend A sense of infinity without end Meditation The drop small, a world of plenitudes The ocean large, made of multitudes A blade of grass mimics the stars Earth interfaces with planet Mars Meditation The drops of conscious mind Each one being unique in kind Adrift on the ocean of spirit Mindfulness of God to inherit Meditation The race of mind be stilled The emptiness seems filled The mind beginning to calm Still waters a soothing balm Meditation Mind’s cup filled to the brim In silence listen to the hymn Rhythms of celestial delight Ballads of the eternal night Meditation Signature of silence, quietude Signature of soul, certitude Reading the light of the soul If blind, braille makes us whole Meditation A lantern in a deep cave Pulsating as a mystical wave Marked by indelible stamp Aglow in the burning lamp Meditation Mind awakens in its twilight hour Darkness within lit by star power In depths, a sense of peace reclined Our thoughts as angels of the mind Meditation The lotus blossoms in the stillness The still lotus as a pearl priceless In the stillness, the lotus peaceful The mind’s eye gazing inward soulful - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Saturday 16 July 2022

HMMMMMM...! WHAT A MAGNIFICENT GOD WE SERVE. HE WHO GIVES US ALL THE 'CHOICE' TO MEDITATE AS WE CHOOSE. AS FOR ME...I WILL WORSHIP HIM, THE GOD WHO IS CREATOR OF THE HEAVEN, EARTH, SKY AND SEA AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS. FOR...'HE WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON THEE, BECAUSE HE TRUSTEST IN THEE...' THAT'S MY CHOICE OF MEDITATION. AMEN. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I am fortunate to be able to meditate often. I use no techniques except stopping what I'm doing and generally, just stare out the window or just stare for a few moments and let everything on my mind go away except to reorganize while I just don't think of anything in particular.

It is so easy to do and frees me up from all of the detail that I'm faced with every day even though I'm supposedly retired. Maybe from forced slave labor, but not from my own desires and preferences.
