Moundsville, West Virginia
Feelin’ Guilty
I do, at times, feel very guilty about not
putting in the kilometres / miles I should in the course of a day. My excuse in places like the New Vrindavan
community is that the demands are high for personal attention from friends and
students who have converged here for the FOI (Festival of Inspiration). I am also taking precious time to work with
an under-rehearsed cast for our drama, “Mr. Puri.” I figure “people are first” in the priority
list, and with that mind-set, I forget sometimes what I need to do for
myself. That’s either sacrifice or
foolishness.
From our stay in West Virginia, our small
team of Hayagriva, Marshall, and myself—all monks—will head for Nebraska to
reconvene my walk across the U.S. The
second half of the trek from New York to San Francisco is to be completed.
I did bring with me some reading material
about walking, which delineates the benefits of this natural event.
·
Walking refreshes the mind,
reduces fatigue and increases energy.
·
More than half the body’s
muscles are designed for walking; it is a natural movement that is virtually
injury-free.
·
Walking provides an enjoyable
time for sharing and socializing with friends or family.
·
Regular, brisk walking can reduce
elevated blood fats or blood pressure and improve digestion and elimination.
·
Walking strengthens bones and
helps prevent or control osteoporosis.
·
Walking relieves stress and
tension.
·
Brisk walking trains your
heart, lungs and muscles to work more efficiently.
May the Source be with you!
