You know when you get in that particular space when you are meditating…you know the one that feels euphoric and you feel pure, light, and ‘one’?  Next time you meditate, whether it is in a traditional way or through a hobby, take notice of the wisdom of the emptiness you experience.  There is no attachment or fear of anything…just oneness.  This is when you become one with the Universe and life.  Oneness is a wonderful feeling and connection.

Li Po said it very well:  We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains.

I woke up extremely early this morning so I was able to get in some extra visualizing and meditation in.  I love it when that happens.  The extra boost of energy and calm before the family troops come in.

My family is a crack up to watch.  None of them turned out like me and what I mean by that is I am a quiet person and do my best to listen to what everyone is saying.  If you get me excited about something I can talk just like the rest of them.  Where the ‘crack up’ is… they love to talk at once and the focus changes over and over again.  I do my best to listen to each one but end up sitting back and smiling as they all entertain each other!  Dad with all his stories of ‘when I was a kid’, the older kids talking about movies, and my in-laws talking politics.  Quite a range of ideas on all accounts!  I guess the point is…I love my family!
