    The poet reflects on meditation and its ability to provide insight and inspiration to act for justice and goodness in the world. Sitting in meditation each morning allows one to be filled with passion for ideals like justice and holiness. From this place of insight, one cannot remain idle but must take action and labor for causes aligned with light. All progress has small beginnings, so one must plant seeds of kindness that can grow toward making a positive impact.

    What I Have Learned So Far Meditation is old and honorable, so why should I not sit, every morning of my life,

    on the hillside, looking into the shining world? Because, properly attended to, delight, as well as havoc, is suggestion. Can one be passionate about the just, the ideal, the sublime, and the holy, and yet commit to no labor in its cause? I don't think so. All summations have a beginning, all effect has a story, all kindness begins with the sown seed. Thought buds toward radiance. The gospel of light is the crossroads of -- indolence, or action. Be ignited, or be gone. ~ Mary Oliver ~
