Elephant Meditation

Elephant Meditation Nothing Happens...and we report it. "As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind.

To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." ~ Thoreau

"As I pondered my memories of writing then and my realities of writing now, I realized one thing that made the ground under my feet feel a little more stable, a little more ever-present."

"Kindfulness lives here. It’s mindfulness with heart. Awareness that doesn’t stop at noticing but keeps going until it reaches compassion. It’s the squirrel teaching me patience, the muddy path teaching me humility, the Grove reminding me that peace isn’t passive; it’s practiced."

"This is when I understood something important. Meditation is not a mental task. It is a state of ease. And ease comes when the mind feels supported, not controlled."

"Woolf was right that illness is a tremendous spiritual change. But she missed the other half of it: illness demands creativity. When language fails, we invent new metaphors. When survival feels impossible, we find humor. And when the lights threaten to go out, love keeps them glowing."
