Catching the Sun
"Catching the Sun"
by M.B. Demres
Colorful Autumn tones,
Sunrays sparkling focus
As light retreats
Days cool,
Attention seeking warmth, light,
Keep me focused,
Grateful
Present
Alive
Open to receive
Extending to give,
Catching the Sun
Meditation:
Sometimes a flow of thoughts like the one above gets me started on meditation.
It’s a picture, or nature itself! Being present and breathing it in, maybe movement or stillness, coming to awareness and acceptance of my body, mind and spirit. Letting it fly and open like a flower. Being open to all manner of sensations within myself and expanding on those. Just simply being. It’s that place that I’m in when I’m not being “productive or letting the monkey chatter take over.” Meditation lets you travel within yourself without moving or talking. It’s a “destination” without a goal or flying without wings. It’s like “catching the sun” in your heart and knowing that it’s warming and shining within you, finding that eternal spirit that we all belong to.
