Down Time

How do you handle down time? I feel this need to be constantly busy, which I know is excessive, but very typical of most people. If we quiet ourselves down, what might we hear internally? I think this is very frightening for some people, and reflected, for me, for the longest time, my feelings about meditation.

Now I see meditation as a relief, a release, and an unwinding. I don't know how Buddhist that makes me but I'm not really looking for a label. I just do what I do. Get in touch with something deeper.

So while my kids are playing at the neighbors, I can do nothing. I can meditate. Always knowing I could be interrupted at any time. And being okay with that.
