Walking Meditation

4/11/2017

​When the being is spent, and the mind cannot quiet the clatter of the knots beckoning to be untangled… take a walk in nature.  Allow all the analyzing to rest.  Invite the need for answers to sit by the wayside.  Ask only what is present to be present.  Let all else fall away.  Walk.  Breathe.  Listen.  Look.  The path knows the way.  Simply follow.  Soon the senses will become awake as the veil of ambiguity and social numbness leave your being.  The rhythm of your walking feet will soothe the mind into trusting that it no longer needs to be the leader on this venture.  What heals here is not what is not thought through but what is welcomed intuitively like a cool breeze through a screen door.  No maps, guides, or mileposts needed.  Simply walk, breathe, listen, look.  It is enough to fill the lungs with air.  It is sufficient to allow eyes to tend colors and ears to behold sound.  Be and become what is present.
 
Birds flying freely
River flowing
Wind that cannot be caught
Stone warmed by sun
Flowers wildly pushing through winter soils
 
Take these small morsels and be fed.
 
Keep walking.  Keep following the unfettered path until everything has taken wing.
All burdens, all confusion, all sorrows, all unrest are feathered and fleeing in soft release.
 
The sun has yet to be extinguished, nor your soul.
 
So keep walking until you find yourself home.
