On Meditation

Meditation can be like a hot air balloon ride. In ballooning, you’re floating along, in silence, maybe falling a little too low, a little too close to the ground, you release some heat into the balloon and it levels you off for a minute or two. Similarly, in deep meditation, in silence, maybe falling a little too low, a little too close to sleep, you release some energy with just a whiff of deliberate thought, and it levels you off, for a minute or two.
