What is meditation?
I looked up the meaning
in three dictionaries,
they were all in agreement,
and none
gave me a definitive answer.

I did further research,
looked for instructions and examples,
but these were of no help.

Neither counting my breath
nor focusing on it
calms my wild mind.

Only one thing
can bring me peace,
help me focus on the moment,
and relieve my stress.

I perform my ablutions,
I pick up my prayer beads,
I turn my face toward Bahji,
and I chant the Most Great Name
while one-by-one
I move the beads across their cord.
