Practicing Meditation

I try to practice meditation with some frequency and have found myself not taking time lately. Yet this morning I awoke to a deep desire to sit in the silence and create a calm space for God to rest. So many requests I make in prayer, I tried to sit and yet the silence was hard. I was accepted just the same and feel grateful for the practice. Thirty minutes goes by too fast and I look forward to tomorrow morning when I shall try to quiet the mind again. Meditation is a gift to ourselves and the world for as we begin to quiet ourselves, the universe whispers peace.
