I get inspired

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

In meditation, I get inspired. My ideas expand beyond the daily demands of my job and housework. My attention spreads out to include the world, instead of staying narrowly focused on myself and my own, personal ego needs or frustrations (such as trying to break bad habits — staying up too late, reading too much, putting off physical jobs like raking leaves or pulling weeds).

Inspired, I stop writing emails and pick up the telephone and talk directly to old friends — friends who live nearby or thousands of miles away.
