Awareness of Stillness

an excerpt from Live Beautifully:  A Book to Sit With, by Doris Wedige

Reflections on the Truth within...
Meditation is like a cleaning of the slate.  As I quiet myself and settle in, my mind is still active.  I compassionately dismiss the thoughts that arise.  At first there are many but slowly my mind surrenders and quiets itself.
Once my mind is at rest the Bliss begins.  I can be in my body at Peace.  I can sense the aliveness.  I can feel the movement of energies.  In the Stillness I am energized.  I have sensed who I am.
My lifetime of searching for answers has been to no avail, my Truth was within myself all the while.  Instead of action, I needed to still myself.  The treasure I was seeking wasn’t in a far off land, it wasn’t in an achievement or acquisition. The treasure I sought was Peace.   It was right here all the time.  The treasure I searched for was within.

I intend to be aware within.
