Meditating on Meditation

1   How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3  He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.  ~ Psalm 1, New American Standard Bible

Want to be blessed?
Don't walk in the where wicked people advise,
(or does it mean among lawyers?)
don't stand where sinners walk,
or sit where scoffers sit.
Do walk where positive advise is given.
If you know bad folks will come along, leave.
Find where good people stroll.
If you're sitting among disparaging
nitpicking people, get up and leave.
If you want to be blessed know HP,
hang around until you're comfortable,
happy, delighted, at peace.
Think about HP's will for you,
the next right thing, his constant presence
not just at a set time for reading and meditating
but hang out with him, feel his company.
You can become a picture of strength,
amid all that fulfills all your needs,
flowing around you, being your home.
Those around you find their needs met
at your armchair, in your space,
your essence nourishing them.
Even when lean times come
you maintain seeds of hope,
signs of good things to come.
As you develop your custom of being,
of emanating positivity, of fully living,
you will find your needs met,
your life fulfilled, your being blessed
and passing the blessing on to your fellows.
