Birds swim in the air
Fish fly through the sea
We walk through heaven

Meditation begins when the effort required to concentrate gives way to a steady flow of attention. The approach to meditation requires some initial expenditure of energy, like an airplane on the runway that builds speed and power to the point of lift-off. Meditation is above the clouds of thought.
