First we learn to pay attention to the nano-glimpses of stillness and joy that come to us. They arise spontaneously in nature or other inspiring circumstances. We are visited frequently by these little treasures but often dismiss them in the onslaught of life's demands.
As we become more aware of them we can seize these opportunities, and by immediately focusing our attention on them, hold open the window to soul-joy a little longer each time. If we choose to invest in the practice of meditation, this process accelerates.
The mind is skeptical but will be convinced when the heart is over-flowing.
