Blueberry fields are calling
Where time fades away and peace is lolling
Face to the sun, drinking in its warm embrace
Close my eyes, to feel the sweet wind brush my face
It's time to go, to that place, that falls between gaps
That takes you to a place, where your throughs collapse
Like the clouds floating away on their backs
It is timeless and ageless, in all forms with no masks
As I sit and pick, the blue gems roll off my hands
Like in the hourglass sands
I hear my own child like giggling
The only concern is the blueberries giggling
The sounds all around, creates a song
That forever more, my inner being longs
This place inside that eternal reins
Is just like my blueberry stains
Some would say, I'm just picking blueberries
I would say, there is much more that marries
For I know, I go to a place deep inside
That is just the beginning of this ride
There is no place I would rather be
Than the sweet still waters that make up me
This is my ode to my favourite berry that is true, it is also my way of being silly with my daily practice of meditation. This is a version of walking meditation; in the form of blueberry picking! I love it and reap great benefits for my body, mind and soul!
This ancient art, of getting to uncover oneself through meditation is considered by one of our most influential teachers of our time; Deepak Chopra to be;

What I can personally share with you after twenty years of a meditation practice, it has given me the ability to pause or take a breath before responding. It has helped me stay as present and attentive to each precious moment. At the beginning gave me the windows to see into me; even though it felt like I would burst if I had to sit another second! This was the start of me liking me, which now has grown into a full love affair with myself!
Whatever your reason, meditation is the access point to the stillness of all creation you hold inside of you! What if, you were the creator of all things from the inside out? What if you could simply be and by being more you could focus on nothing where everything comes from; effortless and easily as a tree grows or a river flows!
