Lake Pueblo Colorado, taken by E.A.S.O Greetings and salutations, this is Momma O Babbling about MEDITATION. WAIT, please don't go. I understand the struggle. After 3 years I can manage a minute, sometimes, of silent, stillness. For me, meditation is not about complete stillness of body, it is about how long I can quiet the rattle and prattle of society, of commercials, of social media, of familial programming, would'a, could'a, shoud'a-ing my choices, the 'to do' list, all t
