~We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing.

Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey.

Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment~ Alan Watts
