Snakes and Ladders

The little that I know about meditation, after more than fifty years, has been forged against a backdrop of uncertainty, stress and lack of security, in the restless, hustling world of theatre. I am not an authority on meditation – if indeed such a thing is possible, for meditation is like the game of Snakes and Ladders: no sooner do we reach the top of the ladder than we fall back several places. All that any of us can do is to share our experience, and encourage one another. To that extent it may be an encouragement to others to know that, even in such a gipsy existence as mine has been, hanging onto the cliff face of what at times seems an unending climb, with rope and nerves and energy wearing thin, an inner centre can be found and held.

I may never reach the mountain top. I am still travelling in the foothills – and these blogs are notes on the way for fellow travellers.

  1. Your words are always here when we need them most, not unlike that game of letting a book open where it will and finding something of value! In order to make that climb we must have a still centre for that will help us to balance and not fall.

  2. Thanks , I have recently beesn searching for information approximately this topi for ages and yours is the greatest I have found out till now.
    However, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?
