The Row Boat"Had we but world enough, and time..." * Sitting5/02/2005 01:09:41A small thing struck me tonight, a possibility. That in Judeo-Christian thinking, a practice of medition may be developed around the idea and sensation of waiting. Constituent to waiting is also the fact of living with waiting. This can be either an ascetic practice or not. Probably both. On the ascetic end, a practice of meditation seems to be a cognitive necessity-- to develop a state of mind so clear and peaceful and aware of God's presence and the messianic coming that the sensation of waiting actually approaches the sensation of the coming itself. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
