On Impermanence...

Thanks to a new dear friend, I've been doing a daily impermanence meditation. In it, I imagine my body is dissolving, dying, falling apart... In that space of dissolution, I meditate on what's left...

The first day I did the meditation, what remained appeared to have qualities: of love and compassion - yet with total detachment and no action. It seemed to have a smile :-)

Today, I experienced that which remains as Shiva in meditation - entirely absorbed in Ishvara (God), and golden light...
