Sometime Now

There is nothing better than silence to help a person appreciate the finer things in life.

I was reading somewhere that the silent stillness of the mind can result in a deep meditative silence.

Sometimes the mind will not let go and keeps coming back round to the busy state that will not let the individual be at peace with the world and with all that is happening round it.

As I sit here looking out to sea and wondering where life is going to lead me next, I count my blessings for all the wonderful things that have happened to me in the few short years that I have existed. Short being the operative word here because our time on earth is but a tiny drop in the ocean compared to some of the great “Inanimate” objects that I have seen and been told about by my fellow travellers.

It may seem contradictory but during my silences, I clear my mind and think back to some of the wondrous experiences of my life. (Silent thinking told you it was contradictory)

My kids being born and growing into two beautiful women.

Seeing the pyramids and ancient monuments of Egypt

Driving in Cairo

The red desert in Saudi Arabia which turns green for one day only when the rain falls, which is not very often.

Dubai Airport from the roof of the flat that I lived in

Deserted beeches

During a recent visit to Greece, it was pointed out to me that the sides of the track leading down to the beech some 200 ft. below were lined at head height with strata of shells. Not just a few but layer upon layer. Thoughts turned to the realisation that this was once the sea bed maybe having been forced upwards during some ancient (I hate the word pre-historic but that’s another story) land and sea shift.

The list is endless.

So go ahead my friend and meditate in silence but do not block out the good things that are in your past, not dwell on them just as you will not dwell on the bad things. All I ask is each day find something to celebrate, especially the fact that you are alive to enjoy the celebration.

Love and Light BJ
