Faith Venture

Those of you who have followed my writing for some time know that I am an eclectic reader. I pick up ideas and wisdom from wherever I can.

Listening to an interview with Zen Master Henry Shukman on the flight to California this week. He mentioned that meditation is like dipping a tea bag into a cup of hot water. It infuses your life.

There is a rich history of Christian mediation. We also call it contemplation or prayer.

Sit for a moment or two. Let this idea of connecting with God infusing our life. How much better we would live if we let God infuse our life. Perhaps that is a part of what Jesus meant by the Kingdom of God surrounds us.

When I sit in meditation, the experience of God infusing my life is part of the whole.

(For a great book on the subject, try The Cloud of Unknowing by an anonymous 14th Century English Catholic religious.)
