Meditation

Me

You are the lotus
Upon which you Meditate.

—
As I was meditating and, at times, reciting-Om Mani Padme Hum, I imagined a lotus expanding within the space of my heart.

I then realized the lotus, or any object upon which I place my devotion, is simply an extension of me.

I am the lotus
I am the offering
I am the Cross
I am the flag
I am the altar
I am the candle
I am the flame

upon which I meditate.
