You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day. Unless you're too busy, then you should sit for an hour (ZEN PROVERB)
These are some of the students in my Univ101 section. Only a handful showed up to class during Thanksgiving week. We talked about mental health, including some practice meditation sessions on our tables.
“Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.”– Alan Watts

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
- Bruce Lee
Funny, how I've never seen someone smiling while meditating! This must be a new trend 😂.
Have a great weekend my friends.

I decided to take some time out from documenting the unusual beak formation of crossbills to share this intriguing activity that this female yellow shafted northern flicker is engaged in. Yes, correct, I found her meditating in the same spot previously occupied by the red crossbill. I am quite impressed and must admit that she’s way better at this than I am, and God knows I have tried. Supposedly, meditation helps you relax, especially when using the correct breathing technique while concentrating on making your chi circulate along your body meridians. I have come to the conclusion that I am not very good at this and suspect the only way this would work for me if I was (were) in a deep coma. I come away from my attempts to meditate in a state of utter mental exhaustion. What happens when I try to meditate is that random thoughts pop into my head, such as most recently wondering why we haven’t come up yet with the perfect personal transportation device (PTD). I am thinking here a hover board based on anti-gravitational waves that, just as the name implies, hovers without noise of any kind. Naturally, it is powered by some equally quiet propelling mechanism that avoids having to use your legs and feet to kick propel it. Of course, this mental imagery is based on the recent discovery that Einstein is/was correct regarding his theory of gravitational waves. 100 years ago … how far ahead of his time was this guy? …. And how did they prove this? With perpendicular 4 kilometer long vacuum tubes and laser light. Absolutely ingenious and how can you possibly expect me to meditate with all this going on and what I feel is a giant leap forward to my PTD. I wonder if she, the bird, is having the same thoughts. Oh wait, of course not because she’s actually meditating and completely zoning out. So much confusion …
Meditation.
She sat there on the sand on a Saturday morn her mind and gaze were transfixed in deep thoughts of meditation.
For she had found that inner peace.

For a long time I haven't design a new model. This is the one I did 5 days ago. When using kami 15x15 cm to fold, this model and drop it from 2 meters, it can land tenderly and keep the same position as the picture. It's also a apart of meditation definition.
I saggi restano calmi e silenziosi, in attesa del tempo giusto
The wise remain calm and silent, waiting for the right time
Disputes are inevitable. When they happen in families or at work, we manage to get past them because we often have no other choice. In virtual worlds, relationships can be more tenuous and more quickly discarded. Anonymous and more free of social constraint, people can forget to treat us with the same respect they might afford real world interactions. It can be easier to insult or turn your back on someone with whom you disagree. [ 1349 more words. ]

A close up from a little wooden Buddha statue. I choose to take the image on high ISO and post processed it with color Efex Pro 4 to give it a kind of aged look.
From the meditation series... continuing onto the grassy area... where one needs to tread carefully (dogs have been around)...
So, I just took advantage of the situation and environs and combined the two... bible and "found objects"... Thought this was poignant...
...and so this series is beginning to reveal itself to me...
salvia, grass clump and poop... psalms

To Marit Cooper: yes, you're absolutely right, in some places I may be stoned for my brazen opinions. But, I live in fortunate times (a flickr world) where an artist may speak freely and clearly... my meaning here is that not all that is written is "written in stone" and that we each individually must find our own way... obey our hearts and speak truthfully about our humanness and our spiritualness... there is a blending that needs to take place.
I named this series "meditation", not "prayer"... because I feel we must abandon the old ways (blindly following a book or a leader), but step out and step up as an individual who can change the world...
