A Tribute To Dr Meares
In December 2011, at the request of Pauline McKinnon and the Stillness Meditation Therapy Centre, the City of Melbourne agreed to place a commemorative plaque on a designated bench in the Fitzroy Gardens, (Melbourne, Australia) to honour 25 years since Dr Meares’ passing. Dr Meares took his daily walk through the Fitzroy gardens, only a short distance away from his professional rooms in Spring Street. Much of Dr Meares’ teachings were in poetry form characterized by simplicity in response to the many and complex questions he was often asked about Stillness Meditation. This commemorative plaque reads ”Sit quietly, for it is in quietness that we grow”, inviting the reader to take a few minutes out of their busy day, to experience the ease of stillness.

Famous quotes containing the word tribute:
“Although my parents have never been the kind to hint around about grandchildren, I can think of no better tribute to them than giving them some.... I can’t help thinking that the cycle is not complete until I can introduce them to a child of their child. And I can think of no better comfort when they are gone than to know that something of them lives on, not only in me but in my children.”
—Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
