Meditation

"The light in me sees and honors the light within you."
I can't certify that my thoughts are inherently profound.
Children are anxious and bewildered and curious
and are not asked for advice.
I am obsessive and even if a notion indicates something
to be explored, it most definitely isn't virtuous
and I don't see that sitting on my knees reconsidering it is much help.
But let me humor the notion: humans generate light
While bingeing on raisinettes.
Maybe I can synthesize wisdom - it comes out of my mouth
or floats around chemically induced or while advising someone
like me but younger - but definitely I cannot use it.

I wrote this while wondering why people meditate.  I disagree with the idea that people are inherently wise or rational, so I thought I'd meditate on the idea by process of collaboration.  The people I asked about this are true blood hippies, JT, Oliver, and Dave, who let me know I had the wrong idea entirely.  Basically, you can't intellectualize meditation since the whole procedure is to give your brain a break thinking in circular, neurotic patterns by not thinking at all.
