The metaphor for our thoughts in this meditation is that of fish jumping ever so briefly out of the water before returning once again to the still waters below. The fish is rising to the surface before we even notice, just like our thoughts. It is when they come above the surface, into our conscious awareness, that we claim authorship and identity around them. That we create stories around them. What if, instead, we merely observed? This observation gives our minds a chance to rest and for greater peace to emerge.
