Status Updates From Meditation: A Way of Awakening

"The clarity of meditation allows one to experience in the present that the past is a memory occurring now, the future is an expectation occurring now, and what one is in the present is a direct knowing of senses, ideas, impressions and reactions that come and go."

I liked this passage:
"... contemplate the arising of each thought out of the space, and assist in the formative and moulding of each thought. Help it along, like supervising a toddler trying to walk. As each thought begins too subside, help it to its rest like helping an elderly person into their seat."
