I've always been fascinated with meditation. I don't do it as much as i would like but I know intellectually that it has many benefits.

Indeed it does...meditation is a means of stilling the torrential chaos of sensory stimulus the world around us offers, and journeying within to the depths of oneself, to a place of sublime peace. At one point in that prior meditative career I mentioned, I had arrived at a place wherein I could easily just retreat into my inner peace in the midst of a classroom full of raucous guys exhibiting their most outlandishly hooligan ways possible (with the girls just playing passive observers lol), and experience quietude of the utmost measure. Like a dog in its kennel during a storm.

Your experience sounds incredible.

It was, thank you :)
Learned a great many things during that time, both the easy way and the hard way.

Thanks for sharing that with me :)

You're very welcome, friend :)
