Life is and experience that happens in and eternal moment, and it is the moments in life that
are so poignant in our experience. Seemingly a series of moments all happening within one
constant moment. One constant now. The silent now is always with us.
We do not do meditation rather meditation does us. What we call the silent experience of
meditation is always happening and all we do is make ourselves available to it. We focus on
it to make its experience more prominent to us, but regardless whether we focus on it or
not it is always there.
The stillness of silence is always present; it is the essence of now. You can not remove silence,
all we can do is cover it with noise. We do not add silence to our lives, all we do is remove the
noise and it is there. Within silence there is stillness, within stillness, it is always now.
It is not only the silence, or space, between the notes that make the music, but it is also silence,
or open space, between thoughts and words that have them make sense to us. There is incredible
open space in inner silence. To truly be able to listen to someone we need to be quiet inside.
The experience of nurturing inner silence is unfathomable as silence has a very rich and thick
presence. Within silence there is simplicity and wholehearted serenity. Another word for silence
is “peace.” When we nurture silence there is and emptiness which brings clarity, and a humility,
approaching a mask-less presence of love.
In silence it is always now. The Earth rotates on its axis around the Sun, all motion is circular.
It is said that space itself is curved. We come and go in a circular pattern. Healing takes place
when we do full-circle work, going back, trying to find out where it began. While at the center
there is stillness and it is always now.
Everything is in motion traveling in circles, or more accurately in a spiral motion, around a center
that exists in stillness. When we come around it may be at a greater level, a different perspective,
than when we were previously there. But nonetheless its “daja vu all over again.” Everything is
happening in the stillness of and eternal moment, experience happens only in the here and now.
