“Meditation is not pondering on a subject, musing hours on end. It is the absence of thinking – the moment just before an idea, before a judgment or assumption, when you are waiting for the thought that triggers a feeling or desire. It is an aperture, a window to nothing and everything. The wider this gap, the more possibilities and creativity and fluidity you experience, the more you become a dynamic creature. The narrower the gap, the more psychologically rigid and brittle you are.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
