Today is September 11, and a day for the world to pray for peace and strength. Also, to pray for terrorist and evil, that they may find peace. Lee went to the memorial in Boston today and was really affected by the sadness and grief felt throughout the city. Teddy continues to ask about that day and I was able to explain to him a little more. I also told him about Karen Martin, and our special relationship with her, and that we will always remember our day home from Guatemala with baby Teddy and what an important figure she was on that special day.
It is also a day that I am trying to learn to add a formal time for meditation each day. In the past I have tried to have a special time to prayer, and I couldn't seem to do this. Reading a scripture or contemplative reading was easier for me to try and remember God each day. I also wanted meditation to be different from prayer. These days my prayers are incredibly pointed and selfish. I wanted meditation to be truly a silent time and time to focus on the energy in my body. I started with setting a timer for 3 minutes. Not such a long time, except it was sooo long. I tried not to focus on thinking about how many minutes might have passed, and instead I tried to focus on my strong body and my cells healing and the bad cells flying out. I was also chanting, in my mind, some healing words. I am going to try and do this everyday. What's three minutes anyway?
