time-out

While you'll feel compelled to charge forward it's often a gentle step back that will reveal to you where you and what you truly seek.

Meditation is a mysterious method of self-restoration.It involves __hutting_ out the outside world, and by that means sensing the universal __resence_ which is, incidentally, absolute perfect peace.It is basically an existential __ime-out___ way to __ome up for a breath of air_ out of the noisy clutter of the world.But don__ be afraid, there is nothing arcane or supernatural or creepy about the notion of taking a time-out. Ball players do it. Kids do it, when prompted by their parents. Heck, even your computer does it (and sometimes not when you want it to).So, why not you?A meditation can be as simple as taking a series of easy breaths, and slowly, gently counting to ten in your mind.

How many of us have lately taken the time out to look at the sky; marvel at the clouds; smell the flowers; or smelt the fresh scent of rain; bought a stranger a cup of tea or coffee; given our time to help another; or just taken time out to sit and watch people rush hither and tither; said "I love you"; smiled at a complete stranger; joined in with kids from the street to play a game?Sadly, I would have to say....not many.It's sad....

Accepting necessary conflicts for the sake of improving the lives of children is the only fundamental moral crusade that matters.

I think the worst sort of time travel is how the clock speeds up when I'm on my break.

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did.
