We hear the benefits of meditation: calm, peace, and becoming centered. But my meditation should go further than just me...it should break forth into life.
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great person is she who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." writes Ralph Waldo Emerson.
It is a good question to ask myself. Do I take what I learn in solitude and silence and bring it with me into the crowd?
If I don't, then what does it profit me?
