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:
“His meter was bitter, and ironic and spectacular and inviting: so was life. There wasn’t much other life during those times than to what his pen paid the tribute of poetic tragic glamour and offered the reconciliation of the familiarities of tragedy.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
