Meditation is a happening. It's reading these words. It cannot be taught or sought - only remembered in an 'ah ha' kind of way - like when one remembers a dream vividly and you wonder - 'how could I have possibly forgotten that!'. Try as we may, it seems to have to ripen of it's own accord. If we can anything it's getting out of our own way. The How of doing that is in using whatever comes our way. The ability to read this is effortless. The reality of our breathing is effortless. The thoughts arising right now and now arise effortlessly - hmm.
