There are a million ways to meditate, Sitting quietly is just one of them, Although it’s a particularly good one, For it is so unlike our increasingly rushed world, It’s also, therefore, increasingly useful.
However, meditation is simply bringing yourself, Into the present moment, Into eternity, Into the invisible world.
There are many methods that do this, While also developing the vessel that resides in the visible world, Practicing, art, craft, sport, exercise or any other task can be meditation, As can walking, swimming - anything.
Yet maybe sitting quietly is held up as one of the most effective methods, For it does not involve this vessel of the visible world, So it is easier to leave this physical place behind, And find eternity.
