The idea of a clear mind with no stray thoughts to muck things up sounds extremely inviting. I've considered learning how to meditate, but I feel some kind of way about having to read and "learn" how to do something that should come naturally. For now, I'm okay with taking time out to sit peacefully, and soak up a early morning sunrise or evening sunset, in absolute silence (barring the city noises of course). Thanks for sharing Lesley, and good luck :-)
