Like an Archer
Like
the archer straightening his arrow and perfecting his aim, the
practitioner of meditation straightens out the mind while aiming his or
her attentional energy at its object. Learning to drop what we’re doing,
however momentarily, and to genuinely pay attention in the present
moment, without attachment or bias, helps us become clear, just as a
snow globe becomes clear when we stop shaking it and its flakes settle.
