I watched in horror as ego-self sabotaged meditation
and tried to do a flanking maneuver on Ultimate Silence.
Once again it sought a mental construct,
a world view that made sense,
that allowed it to “know good and evil,”
and to be able to pass judgment on all experiences and encounters.
Ego-me sought after a sure way to know the length of my life
and the reputation I would leave as my legacy.
When such knowledge would not come,
ego-me took refuge in despair and cynicism. . . .
I repented and embraced once again
the absolute unknowable nature of life in every NOW moment
that is not bound by the past or doomed to some planned future. . . .
Even at the moment of my death,
let me embrace and be embraced by unswerving trust
that Life as it was, is, and ever shall be is good. . . . 
~Harold Slater (on this list), from his meditation on Psalm 30, 1/5/07
Namaste.
