Some
Reflections
I
got fairly busy--much to do with the weekend Fest, The Festival of Chariots, perhaps
the largest in North America. So little
time for walking. I did, however, compile
some thoughts on the art:
#1)
Walking through the countryside at normal speed allows you the time and space
to absorb all that's around you. It
enhances appreciation for nature, people, and the Creator.
#2)
Rain came down for hours and I was holding up the umbrella while trekking. After some point, I gave up on the umbrella
and just let the rain and wind do what they wanted. Instead of resisting, I
chose to accept and free myself from those elements. You can get to a point where you realize,
"I'm not this body. I'm actually a
spirit--a spirit in motion."
#3)
I enjoy walking and I enjoy the mantra
meditation, but I will admit I'm not ecstatic about either at this point. It's not a major stimulation or adrenaline
rush, but I do see and feel the power they wield and how they wear away at the
mind, which channels the ego.
#4)
Regarding pain or fatigue: It's better to have a physical ache or pain with a
peaceful mind, than have a pampered life style with an agitated mind.
#5)
God created us with half of our body made of legs, so I believe in using them
for Him. I find there is no better or
more personal way to meet people than with the low-tech, highly organic
approach of using the legs. The legs were
made for walking, and the mouth for speaking about the absolute. Perfect combination!
May
the Source be with you!
