The Infinite Pre Dawn Meditation

<p>In order to see and re-order our lives, it is helpful to simplify our environment.</p> <p>On a walk, before the light of day presents the billions of details filtered through our eyes</p> <p>from the world around us, we can set out to track the opportunities of the infinite space found in the darkness of pre-dawn light.</p> <p>This space exists for us to clear the cobwebs of the mind, and breathe this blissful darkness into our lungs.</p> <p>Along the way, there will be street lights, candles burning inside the windows of homes, car lights, and cracks lit up from the city’s ambient glow. It is never completely dark outside;</p> <p>even on the eve before the Winter Solstice.</p> <p> </p> <p>We know well the metaphor of darkness, but what of its goodness?  In the open canvas of a dark morning, all is possible, and all is washed away into the present moment which is filled with our sense perceptions.</p> <p> </p> <p>Complications become softer. Worries can be swept away as the musings of our brains. Challenges reveal possibilities. With each step we become free.  With each step what really matters today comes to the fore. We see clearly inside our minds, from our hearts.  There are no details to burden us and block our way.</p>
