Once you turn inward, meditation has started. Meditation means the capacity to be joyously alone, the capacity to be happy with yourself, the capacity to keep company with yourself. To be with yourself is meditation.
Meditation is emptying yourself of all content. When there is no thought moving inside you there is stillness; that stillness is meditation. Not even a ripple arises in the lake of your consciousness; that silent lake, absolutely still, that is meditation.

28:52 - Photograph something you’ve been looking at or walking past for a long time, but which you’ve never photographed before.
Just off a busy shopping street in North Vancouver is a small park that I've driven and walked past so many times and always wanted to take a look. So yesterday, between rain showers, I went to the park with my camera. This is a meditation circle in which people sit on the ground and meditate, with the bright red statues of monks in a circle. I thought the red was too glaring for portraying the peaceful feeling of meditation, so converted it to mono.
If your heart is sad
Give him the seed
New hopes.
Search deep inside you
And you will discover wonders,
A part that you forgot. Take the time to look at your life.
Go to the garden of your soul
and if you can't achieve your desires,
You have hope that one day
You have other joys.
If the rain floods your face
And hide your tears
Tell yourself the sun will dry them out.
Smile for life,
Because if today nothing goes,
He remains tomorrow.
Advance on the path of life
Because at the end you will see
Inscribed in the sky
In letters of fire,
The word HOPE.

I took this at Nitobe Gardens, where I took the image "Where the Magic Happens." This is the reflection in the pool, and I flung my camera up and down for a bit of ICM....
the murmur of the water, the evening sky.../Meditación, el murmullo del agua, el cielo del atardecer..../Meditation, en porlande bäck, kvällshimlen...
"It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, a watcher."

(photo taken in the Valley of Fire, Nevada, U.S.A.)
Lipan Point on the south rim of the Grand Canyon is one of the most evocative and meditative lookouts over the Colorado. I was shooting several photos of the sunset when this guy, probably a native, sat on the rock in front of me offering himself as unintentional and occasional model for a slightly different shot than the usual ones. A little human touch in presence of this huge, vast and wild place.
Meditation may enable you to do amazing things and here is the proof. :) I took this photo for this week's theme "Levitation Photography" of the Smile on Saturday group. HSoS !
Ideal voices and ones we loved
of those who died, or those who like the dead are lost to us.
Sometimes in dreams they speak to us;
sometimes in thought the mind hears them.
And briefly at their sound return
sounds from our lives’ first poetry –
Like music, at night, that fades, far away.
