The kids were skipping stones, laughter and yelling echoed across the lake. The geese gurgled, a dog barked in the distance. Someone’s barbecue sizzled nearby. And there I was still and observant. Eyes soft, breath slow, not tuning out the world, but letting it be, just as it is. Meditation, I’ve learned, isn’t escaping the noise.It’s sitting right in the middle of it all… and choosing peace anyway.
