Quantum Meditation Zafu Silent Corner Surf Dragons

Quantum Meditation
Zafu Silent Corner
Surf Dragons
Magic Tide Beach Stones

I went ... ZAFU hunting this weekend!


Did my research, found MANY potential locations in Victoria to buy one, but .... it seemed hopeless as most were studios or gyms or walk-in centres, but not stores. 

Only one store had promise. And I was fairly certain I would have to order it. And I wanted Berry, or, as above, PURPLE! My second choice was going to be TEAL.

And, first store I visited, VERY FIRST STORE - HAD A PURPLE ZAFU!!!

KARMA! FATE! DESTINY!
MEDITATING MUSES!
Just lucky, I guess!

So then, the next thing I need to do was find...some driftwood (I call driftwood....Surf Dragons!) and some special beach stones - for they alone can capture tide magic!! And after 3 trips to the beach, found the Surf Dragons and stones I wanted to blend together!


And my corner for silence is now ready! It will never be finished, it will always be changing, it will always welcome silence.....for driftwood listens, especially elder driftwood...and stones listen .... especially beach stones.......
Very simple and very silent. I originally had more driftwood and more stones....but it neither 'felt' right, nor 'sounded' right. I think this is a nice balance of symmetry, simplicity and ..... silence. For me, it will welcome first light at dawn as well as greet first starlight at dusk. All comets are invited to stay as long as they want!


And ..... I have ..... a very silent corner ..... of my own.

I even pushed my luck and went looking for my favourite meditation book, "Inviting Silence", but, alas, did not find it.

I did find a couple of others, called, "Invitation to Meditation" and "One-Minute Mindfulness" and they have great promise.....but still looking to ... 'invite silence' into my corner! Namaste.....
