Meditation....what is it?

Tonight I started a five week course on meditation given by a local man who has been teaching and practising it for 40 years. I've never been successful with meditating...my busy mind just won't slow/quieten down. So I was pleasantly surprised with all that we were told. Next week we start practising. Nice that two good friends were also there.

Thank you to those who admitted to having rats' nests in their kitchen. Glad I'm not alone.
