rafting

I woke up yesterday with the image in my mind of a wobbly raft out on the ocean. I thought, perhaps meditation is the raft that keeps us afloat.

Then I thought, perhaps meditation is supposed to help us get rid of the raft, help us be in the ocean, one with it, one with life with all its saltiness, endless horizon, the overwhelming reality. Learn to float.

I don't know.

I'm going to start reading Shambhala again.
