Sitting still...Coming home

Image from Lucy's album

My favourite time of day is that gorgeous transitioning between late afternoon and dusk.  It's the time when the gold in the sunlight reaches an unrivalled intensity and glow as the sun disappears below the horizon leaving darkness in its place.  

WALKING HOME IN GORGEOUS SUNSETS

Sometimes, the gold is dispersed by brush strokes of pink, crimson, violet and purple.  What a breathtaking vision that is!  What rapture I feel as I walk home under such a sky, its beauty caressing me on so many levels - an emotional, spiritual and physical coming home!

SITTING IN OUR TRUE NATURE

When we sit in meditation practice, allowing the conditioned, ordinary mind to settle, it feels like coming home too - a profound coming home, where the conditioned senses are given a break and the unconditioned senses are awakened to the extraordinary qualities of the naturally radiant, luminous mind.

Its natural peace, joy and infinity gradually become apparent.  We are effortlessly drawn into its field of infinite possibilities.  We are lifted by insight into the nature of reality, into ultimate truth.

In this sense it is very much a coming home - to who and what we truly are!
