Work, walk, write

We have to work,
We have to walk
We have to write
We can remember that doing these well is itself meditation.
And of course a secular sit at Shiva temple.

And there is the need to for a certain quality of courage and patience to take birth in our hearts

This courage helps us:

• In maintaining our peace in the phase of unresolvable mental confusions; don't we now of the great paradoxes; and the intelligent beings who came up with those were able to accept their non resolvability
• I have seen that at age 50 or above,  Paul after a 4- 5 hour long drive can participate in day long meetings being the most enthusiastic person around. This energy is coming from a certain strength; our hearts have to develop that strength

Surely even in the middle of the darkest nights, I've seen glimpses of gentle and soothing breezes - such as blissful moments of sleep; a simple logical idea that dissolves all confusion; a cup of coffee had in quietness that was suddenly transcended with peace and joy.

Two of the greatest disturbing thoughts are: Fear of loneliness  and fear of permanence
Perhaps we have to get used in a deep level to the disturbance that occurs on contemplating these.
