I love this Dearest ML!
Of all the meditations there is nothing that main-lines straight into the heart faster and more direct than Sound. Any sound. There are a set of chimes outside my window that may as well be the Voice of God. Not ‘may as well be’ — they ARE the voice of God. As is everything.
XOXO

I agree dearest L. “Main-lines” is a good word!
When the Tui sounded in the predawn my hair stood on end. It literally took my breath away.
I love the way everything – everything – has the power to return us to pure undivided Aware-ing.

A lawn mower too.

Ah, Miriam Louisa – so many resonances! I am ever so pleased to find your site. Thank you! Claire.
Ditto, dear Claire. Your blog is rich nourishment – for both the artist and the contemplative.
Gratitude!
