Glad to mark this one PL OK!
Just to sections, one of the mine which I won't get to for a few days when I can shake this throat ailment.

I'm glad it's not just me that is suffering with strange throat and vocal problems this Spring. Odd noises come from me when i try to speak. t sk, tsk.

Thanks. You picked a tough one to start with but I'm sure it will be fine. I'll put this into the magic window for proof istening.

This is a good first offering, esp. for such a challenging piece of text.

Only one real change, and a couple of comments for your consideration.

-- Your personal attribution, "Read by . . . " should appear either at the beginning OR at the end, but not both. So, choose one and delete the other. "End of Meditation #." [Optional, and if not stated in the intro: "Read by your name, city, date."]

-- Their is a background hum from the beginning to about 5:17 when is just stops. It is still in the acceptable range, but something you might want to keep in mind. Some noise reduction, getting a noise profile from the first second, might help it.

-- We usually don't comment on pronunciation, but for future reference, the word, "err" rhymes with "her" not "hair." It is a common mispronunciation. No need to change anything here.

Fix the "Read by . . ." and upload the corrected file under the same file name and post the link and time here again.

Again, thank you for an overall impressive reading!

Thanks for your feedback Larry! I appreciate it. Below is the revised audio; time is now 20:19. I removed the "read by..." at the end and tried to clean up the hum a little. Let me know if I should change anything else!

Friendly update on 6

I read it but I'm not 100% happy on the emphasis I picked. This translator's punctuation is the stuff of nightmares sometimes! I've been doing audio for a book (yay!) which is where most of my voice time has gone and that's nearly done. I'll circle back and satisfy my pickiness on 6 and finally upload; I think I'm still within my two-month grab limit--I'll check that.

Medals to everyone who made it through their readings!!

Let me know if you would like an extension of time. Philosophy is patient. And so is Librivox.

Meditation 1 PL OK! Although I still feel confused by his thought process, this was well read.
