Interesting that had the word "artist" been substituted for "meditation instructor", it could have been you writing. When I have been engrossed in artistic creation, it has been a form of meditation. So perhaps you meditate more than you think -- you just aren't calling it that! Mary Hi Janis,

If you inserted artist in instead of meditation instructor, it could have been me writing! I read what you wrote as the demonstration of your friendship with meditation practice. Sometimes meditation for me is simply something I don't do enough of! And other times it is this calm world of possibilities living within, tapable. Thank you for the time you have devoted to your friendship with meditation, we all benefit.
