"God is the friend
of silence. See how nature--trees, flowers, grass--grows
in silence; see thestars, the moon, and the sun--how they
move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.
—Mother Teresa

Four
Minute Meditation:
Find
a track of a favorite *soft* CD, tape, etc. that is about
4 minutes long. Sit comfortably where and when you won’t
be disturbed. Turn on the music and let your mind float.
Don’t think hard. If a thought comes, acknowledge
it and let it drift away. Concentrate on your breathing,
inhale deeply, hold, exhale and/or keep one image in your
mind.....At the end of this small meditation, CREATE whatever
your hands/brain wishes!
OR
If
you’ve tried meditation and it doesn’t work
for you, look to nature, pretend you are the stone, the
rock, the river. What would you have in the back of your
consciousness? What would your essential nature or character
be? Create a piece of work based on your ideas.
