This weekend I went to spend some time in the mountains of my home town. They were calling and I needed to go. I also longed for the cold fresh water of the local creeks. While sauntering next to one of those creeks I had a few thoughts I’d like to share with you:
I’d have to say that the mountains have had the greatest impact on the way I behave. More than any one person or thing.
The lessons you learn from the mountains. The relationship you have with them covers so many things. The harmony of being in them, with them. Sauntering through them is an act of harmony and reverence.
You do not conquer mountains. You have the fortune to be with them for a moment.
As for my physical practice, and my creation of a physical space , I’m reminded of this highlight from many moons ago.
Perhaps one day my friend.
