Meditation...




















Wonderful and cool thing happening at the house this week… Cindy’s meditation teacher, Paul Muller Ortega, is doing initiations. His teacher was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (the one in India the Beatles made famous), and as it happens, I was initiated by Maharishi in 1972. I was 11 at the time, and while I remember several things about the experience, there’s a fair amount I don’t. I do, of course, remember my mantra as he gave it to me, and though I haven’t practiced meditation with much regularity it’s always been in my “toolbox”…. a pretty good tool.

Ultimately, we're all beings of faith... some people have faith in the randomness of things, and that there is no unifying force... I have faith that many (if not most) things do not happen by accident, and that love is like hydrogen- you can't run out of it. What will you do with yours?
