Returning to Stillness

Lately, I’ve found myself straying from my daily meditation practice. Life crept in—busy days, long to-do lists, and the constant hum of distraction. But last night, I had a dream that gently reminded me of what I’ve been missing. It was as if something deep within was nudging me to return to that quiet space I had set aside.

This morning, I woke to a sky painted in soft colors, the kind of beauty that asks you to pause. I took it as a sign and sat down in stillness to meditate. Almost immediately, I felt my heart begin to open, and with it came a flood of emotion—grief, gratitude, longing, love. It was raw and real, and I realized how much I need this space for myself.

Meditation isn’t just a practice for me—it’s an anchor, a way to come home to myself. And today was a reminder that it needs to be part of my daily self-care, not just something I turn to when I feel lost.

So here’s to beginning again, with openness, gentleness, and the willingness to sit with whatever arises.— Debbie
