Recently I’ve made a renewed commitment to mindfulness meditation, something I discovered in prison and found very useful.  I’ve neglected it as I’ve gotten busy.  I heard God in solitary confinement, I believe, because it was the only place where there weren’t any distractions.  Now that I’m out there are lots of distractions but I need to create a quiet place in my mind so that I can quiet the noise and be here now.  This helps me focus, helps me be aware of what’s going on within and without me, and helps me relax and rest when I need to, and helps me to hear God.
