What is the goal of meditation? Through analytical meditation we shall perceive our object clearly, then through placement meditation we shall gain deeper levels of experience or realization. The main purpose of The Way of the Doxie meditations is to transform our mind into the path to enlightenment by bringing about the deepest levels of realization. The sign that we have gained perfect realization of any object is that none of our subsequent actions are incompatible with it and that all of them become more meaningful. For example, when we have gained a perfect realization of compassion we are never again capable of willingly inflicting harm upon any other living being and all our subsequent actions are influenced by compassion.
Ask Jeanne (aka Cameo). She has found that special "grace" that comes with understanding The Way of the Doxie.

Did you know that people are discouraged from killing bees? I do now after trying to find something to kill bees in compost bin. Waste of gas. Solution is to call a bee keeper or wait until fall when they die. I want the compost now!

Since you're now a beekeeper Ann, you would be discouraged from visiting Pitcairn Island!
I listened to an oldtime radio version of "Mutiny on the Bounty" the other day and then decided to do some surfing to see what I could find. Turns out that beekeeping is one of few industries that they can do successfully there and it's been a struggle to get the bee stock free of disease.
Aren't you glad you mentioned bees?
It's a shame that they've taken up residence in your compost though - maybe you could distract them to somewhere else?
There - front yard mown, garden dug up and planted and back garden dug up.
Outside all day and it feels wonderful! (tired and sore too though - but wonderful anyhow)
Hope everyone else enjoyed their day.
I have a large bumble bee that isn't happy with me - I gather he was making a nest
under my front porch and now I have filled it in - it is right underneath my front door and he has already tried to get in once. Cat would have a wing ding with him.
Sammy - I bet you are glad to be home.
Margaret - hope the toe is better - still sounds like it is sore- if you are missing the nail I am sure it is. Mine is growing out - but there is a big lump under the nail so don't know what that means - it stopped hurting weeks ago though. Toes and fingers are such fragile digits.
Hi all, I had a wonderful day - ended up spending the afternoon with my granddaughter and we shopped and then came home and hung out. She's still here and we're watching a movie now. She's almost 12 and quite a wit. I'd like for us to spend more time together, but what with baseball and so on there never seems to be enough time.
Even with all the walking I did today, my toe has survived. And it's not sore - can't believe it. It seems that it should be really painful, but I can't feel a thing - I hope that's a good sign.
Don, I have rusc.com on my list of OTR sites - I've got quite a list of them and can usually find something to listen to. I particularly like the shows like Mercury theatre and I found a site that has the whole list of them. I'm trying to ration them though.

Take care, Margaret
Keeping the rest of them a secret are we Margaret?
I shall not watch the game, so I hope all of you shall enjoy the Edmonton victory. Two periods down and one to go.
