why meditate?

Why meditate?  This is the big question; why do we do anything?  


If we try to get to the root of why we do what we do and why we believe what we believe, is it not to be happy.  No one likes to suffer.


Meditation makes us happy … how?  Meditation is emptying ourselves utterly.  When we are empty we are open, we are innocent and we are accepting of whatever is happening in the present moment. In fact, we see that each moment is a miracle and a gift from the Divine.


Are we not happiest when we are being given gifts?


peace upon you,
