Jesus said, "Watch and pray." (Mat. 26:41) Simply to watch is perfect stillness. Just to listen is marvelous silence. There is really no difference between watching, listening, and prayer.
Without effort or concentration, let this restless mind rove wild through the cosmos. Give it vast space to roam. Just witness.
Awareness is the only discipline. No concentration, no control. When the mind has had its fill of wandering, it will return like a swan, folding its wings, to settle on the still waters of the heart. Meditation happens naturally when there is no resistance.
All Winter long, the plum branch reaches through the broken fence, toward the white blossom it was always holding.
