Take meditation off the mat

Take meditation off the mat. Bring it into the wild, right into the centre of the messiness. Dance with it, make it alive. Feel it in the air, swaying among the trees. Let it be there when the kids laugh and play. And let it remain as they throw their fiftieth tantrum. Take it to the kitchen, taste it in your tea. Drag it into the bedroom, offer it to your beloved. Then let it find you walking down the street, however straight or bumpy the road may be. Tie it to your feet. Etch it onto your lips. Let it be revealed in the kindness of your smile, seen through the sparkle in your eye. Wherever you are, whatever you do, put it your pocket or better- carry it tenderly in your womb as if it were your child.
