I meet many a person who used to meditate. They did it as a way to get a “return on investment.” They wanted some payoff, pre-conceived from their time spent in silent stillness. They got bored or mind-wandering instead, but mostly bored. No payoff. They were all about themself. They could go to work and be bored, be married and be bored, do internet and be bored, but not meditate. They at least got paid when they worked. Or got to a destination after a long boring ride/travel. We are so demanding of our prayer time, as if we have some control. Patience and acceptance not required. Thus we treat spiritual power as if it is a puppet at the end of our strings.

For me, just being present daily and making the time for prayer and meditation to start my day, inevitably makes the day much smoother. I can access the pause button, for instance, which is a gift for everyone, lol. No expectations, no boredom. 💫
