The older I get, the clearer it becomes. The key to everything is in meditation. In oneness with what you are doing. In the being, in the breathing, in experiencing every moment as it comes, as you are.
I've had countless conversations with my closest friends and family members about this is in recent weeks. Meditation is different for everyone, no doubt. On my part, I believe it is to be found in whatever makes you one with your breath. In whatever makes you forget that you are you and something else is another and instead combines you both in single focus.
You can spend a lifetime in the effort to apply that sort of focus to every aspect of your life. But if you aren't already, I urge you strongly to start doing (or searching for) the things that make you feel alive. And if they aren't apparent, channel your energies into being at one with whatever gives you even an inkling of joy. Make a start, the rest will follow.
So what is this? A post on meditation? A call for unhedonistic searching for what brings you soul-satisfaction?
The answer? Both of them. The oneness of both of them.
