LOL. Almost. Birds were chirping. Water trickling in a fountain next door. Chis playing. A train passed by in the distance. Breeze rustling through the trees above me. My son was upset about a work issue in the background but I was fine with it.

Fresh air was awesome. I felt peace. And the love and appreciation for everyone who cares about others and world peace that I felt an irrepressible urge to join my hands in a Namaste position.

But then, my son stood right in front of me. "I'm meditating," I said quietly. But it was clear he wanted to talk so I opened my eyes and smiled.

He poured out his frustrations about his level one techs and I listened. Then, I offered a suggestion for which he was grateful.

World Peace begins at home. smile

Lori -

It is wonderful that you had time for you and also time to be present for others. A win-win! And hopefully with your guidance your son will be more able in the future to be patient and give you the time you need smile.

LOL. One can hope. smile

My son feels much better, even happy and hopeful now, so that makes me feel good, too. He is a young adult and learning how to deal with people to encourage their best to come forth. I love his desire to do so.

I think that I will put on some earphones for tomorrow's meditation so I can listen to some meditation music (not to block anyone out)!

Lori, you're right - World Peace begins at home, and this is the point in this thread - sharing how we are gaining personal peace through meditation, so that as a group we bring more peace into the world!

Earphones sound good! When Bob is home I often put on a playlist, to create my own world of sound. It's a lovely way to help with focus.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. When we bolster our personal peace, we can then be more peaceful with each person we interact with. That then helps them be more peaceful, and it ripples outward!

sigh.

In front of a lovely nature scene on my computer screen with nature sounds. Then, hubby walks in and wants to talk, look at the book proofs, etc.

He just left so I'll be drifting off again...

A lovely twenty minute meditation for me. Lots of swirling thoughts, but I gently tamed them. How did you do?
