I never saw it coming –
that sudden sweep
of side-shaking laughter.
Meditation, I thought,
was a measured process
of breathing in
and breathing out,
of watching thoughts come
and letting them go,
but as I sat,
eyes closed,
spine straight,
listening to Jason’s gentle guidance,
I didn’t let go.
I let loose.

I agree with Mr. Mel, this is a well written poem. I could so relate – not necessarily to side-shaking laughter during meditation, but I often break out into a huge grin. It’s sort of like the universe giving us a hug – or maybe telling a good joke. 🙂

When you, through meditation, experience that which you are, it frees you from the emotions, the intelligence and the introvertion that we think is our life.

Joan, I immediately replied, then discover I forgot to mention that this was a very well written post. Thanks for sharing.
