Any form of active mediation- be it walking mediation, music meditation, or for me right now kitchen meditation,\u00a0 allows our minds to be quiet. The incessant chatter, the worry, the plans- they all drift away when I\u2019m fully concentrating on my art. There is a negation of time that happens when one is wholly present. And in creation I\u2019m wholly present.\u00a0 It feels holy.\u00a0 Once I know that feeling of truly finding myself I can look for that feeling in other places. In a walk in the canyon, as I sit by the fire, when I listen to my family sharing. Tiny moments of being entirely fully present \u2013 being wholly with the moment, have become my new meditations.
