How to use the meditations
1. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
2. Read through the whole meditation a few times, then put it down.
3. Sit in a position both comfortable and alert.
4. Allow the meditation 10 minutes or so in your imagination. Do not give up before this time; stay with it.
5. Allow another 10 minutes for recording what happened. Allow events to develop as you record. |

MEDITATION 51
WITH EVERY GOODBYE
After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security
And that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head held up and your eyes open...
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
That you really are strong
That you really do have worth
And you learn and learn
With every goodbye you learn.

Consider
Is there a goodbye in your life that needs attending to in some way?
Is there a goodbye from which you are still recovering?
Is it the one gone you need to speak with?
Or is it yourself?
So speak.
Because with every goodbye we learn...
