Evergreen-ish

I sat on my mat this morning, half sick with a cold that doesn't make asana-sense, but quite capable of morning meditation.


So, I sat. And like most times, the first 5-10 minutes are the most monkey-mindish. 
And then I placed Om with my inhales and exhales, visualizing the symbol within my third eye. 

As I sat, I began thinking:
Evergreens
Christmas trees
Nature
Divinity
Atman soul
Evergreens being the divine tree, never dying, like the glowing Atman
Without veil--maya--
Heart.


And the next thing I knew I was "seeing" a snow capped mountain, wondering
how that was/is related to evergreens...possibly that a mountain
doesn't die or change either--maybe the landscape, but at the base--
it is always a mountain.


Like it is always a tree.
And the divine light shining
inward,
shines outward...
No matter what time of the year.


Om.
