Sitting

The soul becomes prudent by sitting and being quiet.

~ Aristotle

I really want to be good at meditating. I want to be at peace and Zen-like and calm. I want to just let things be and enjoy the moment that I am in. I try to learn to do that lots of ways. Reading, listening, sitting.

The other day I was trying to learn more about meditation practice. I was watching a video of Jon Kabat-Zinn. I watched it as long as I could. I was amazed by his stillness. His focus. His sense of calm.

Then I realized it wasn't a video. It was a photograph.
