This morning I signed into Facebook, something which I don’t do very often – and I discovered my friend Helena online! It was so much fun chatting with her. We go back a long long way, and now it feels like she’s not far away at all, even though physically she’s half the world away. Her evenings are my mornings. Thank goodness she’s a night owl!

I intend to make room for more stillness tonight … and so my practice goes. Meditation has always been challenging for me, but stillness is not. I’m not sure why, except that maybe it just comes down to semantics for me. Maybe I have a lot of “stuff” tied up with the notion of meditation, stuff that doesn’t come up in stillness, because I know the stillness is always there, I haven’t lost it, I always have it. It’s just a matter of being aware of it.
