When in conversation, I will often find myself lost in thought. Instead of listening, I’m thinking about what I will say next, about something else happening in my life, about the tea I made this morning but forgot to drink…AGAIN. Conversations feel a lot like meditation in this way.
This is a skill that so many have lost. But when the person you are communicating with realizes you are truly listening, the immediate bond is felt. It is amazing the emotional benefit that is shared between the two people. Your life can be enlightened and blessed when you are able to “meditate” on another human.
There are times when I find myself in a conversation that feels like a meditation really, generally with a friend who is on the same intellectual wavelength. We get to engage on ideas and feel excited by it to the extent that you leave that conversation feeling a lot lighter and brighter, as if you were in meditation throughout.. Thought exchange, and ideas simmering for hours through the conversations you leave with nothing but appreciation..

I’m enjoying your “seeds.” Thank you.
