Meditation: Coming Home to Grace

Many of us live in a state of seeking: seeking peace, meaning, relief, closeness to God. Yet what if the place we seek is not ahead of us but within us? I’ve written about our soul being “a fractal of God,” echoing the idea that we are not distant from the Divine, we are architecture of it.

Meditation becomes then not merely a technique, but a homecoming: a returning to the place we always were. It is in silence, in those still moments, we begin to hear God’s whisper: “I have been waiting for you to come home.”

The Path in Practice

Step One: Choose your space.

Find a quiet spot—yes, even a closet, a corner of the bedroom, a bathroom if necessary. What matters is less the location and more the withdrawal from external noise. This is not about length of time spent but about quality of time finished. Start with just 60 seconds, multiple times a day, to try on your meditation shoes.

Step Two: Sit, breathe, release.

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Let the mind bring its parade of thoughts. Your task is not to fight them, but to let them pass by. Recognize: thoughts are not who you are. The soul is.

Step Three: Be still and know.

In stillness, you begin to hear the silent voice of the heart. The voice of God. “Be still and know that I am God.”  In the stillness you begin to awaken to the truth: you are home.

Step Four: Return.

After your short session, carry the stillness into your day. Over time the practice expands—not because you labored more, but because you allowed more. You realize the effect of meditation isn’t the tally of minutes; it’s the shift of consciousness.

Why This Matters

The common assumption is that our identity is in what we do, or believe, or in whom we are seen to be. In meditation we are invited to discover who we are – before roles, labels, doctrines.

Meditation connects us to that deeper Self. It dissolves expectations, which are an egoic desire to shape reality outside of truth.  In the silent chamber of meditation, we step out of our egoic nature of striving and into our divine nature of being.

Here is a song I composed, offered not just as words but as a vehicle into the interior landscape. Read through it, linger on each line, perhaps even speak it softly in your meditation. Let it carry you into the silence where God and your true home meet.

“The Joy of Your True Home”

(Verse 1)
Close your eyes, let the noise fall away,
The breath of the Spirit is calling your name.
In stillness, the heart learns how to pray,
The fire within and the peace are the same.
The soul unfolds like dawn’s first ray—
All light is one, all hearts aflame.

(Chorus)
In meditation, you will find the joy of your true home,
There, in the silence, God whispers: “I have been waiting for you to come home.”

(Verse 2)
The river of thought runs wild and wide,
But love is the boat that will carry you through.
Let go of the current, the pull, the pride,
And the mirror of heaven will open to you.
What you seek has never died—
The sky of the soul is always new.

(Chorus)
In meditation, you will find the joy of your true home,
There, in the silence, God whispers: “I have been waiting for you to come home.”

(Verse 3)
Breathe in grace, let the moment expand,
The silence is deeper than ocean or stone.
Each breath a seed in the Spirit’s hand,
Each thought released is a stepping stone.
Peace blooms wide across the land—
You are the stillness you have always known.

(Bridge)
No temple more sacred than the heart,
No pilgrimage farther than your breath.
From the world of form, you softly depart,
To meet the One beyond life and death.
In the hush, all veils fall apart—
The soul remembers what it left.

(Final Chorus)
In meditation, you will find the joy of your true home,
There, in the silence, God whispers: “I have been waiting for you to come home.”

(Coda)
You have returned, you are whole, you are known—
At last, beloved, you have come home.

Invitation

Would you now take two minutes—sit quietly, breathe, allow the mind to slow—and then read the chorus softly in your heart? Let the words become an interior echo: “In meditation, you will find the joy of your true home…” Let them carry you into stillness.

Meditation is a process, and you have to let the process do its work if you want to see results. The work is simple. The access is here. You are not going somewhere. You’re coming back. Home.
