Meditation Thursday 3.5.12

Tonight I expect a small group again, as one of our members is on holidays, another is nursing a sick husband and yet another is attending a work function. However, I plan to lead the group with a reading from a blog, Mystic Meandering I followed some time ago and have not reconnected with lately.

The post was titled Inner Compass from 16.1.11 and it has intrigued me for some time. I copied it last year when I was feeling somewhat directionless but have never had the opportunity to share it before.

Update 6.5.12
I did share this blog post, we had 1 more member than expected and interesting discussion following our meditation session. 

None of the group liked the idea of being directionless, all agreed that this is a frightening concept.  One of our number shared that having no direction can be a symptom of depression, another said that she always wanted to feel she had some control over her actions at all times. We all agreed that the idea of doing nothing and waiting is somehow foreign to us all.

I concluded the discussion with a quote which seemed to sum up for me the idea of waiting and doing nothing:

"Always remember deep in your heart that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should.  There are no mistakes anywhere, at any time.  What appears to be wrong is simply your own false imagination.  That's all..."  ~Robert Adams  (Silence of the Heart Vol 1).
