Opportunity like a good neighboring park has always there. But so many times we hardly use it by making time to go out for a good walk! Even inside or near offices there is a lot of walking space – so many times I’ve been negligient.
Off late we’ve managed to be quite regular. This morning after some rain it looked so heavenly that couldn’t help slowing down to take a video… so that any reader here can e-join us (but hopefully will be a start for an actual walk sooner or later! 😉 )
The sun occasionally peeping out of the clouds add a magic touch…
After a few brisk rounds, a silent slow mindful walk ‘being with oneself’ in every single step is pretty relaxing yet invigorating start to the day!
On the way back home along the walking path, we happened to meet one of our senior friends who’s wife had been coping with cancer for close to a year. He spoke about how they have been facing it as a family. One thing that really touched me was when he said ‘Last November everything was fine and life seemed so cool and easy. In a way its a good thing that this has happened. Now we take our meditation much more seriously!’. He was a stoic gentleman, having been through a lot of strain in taking care of his wife and managing the household of three kids. His attitude of unflinchingly accepting everything in his stride was truly inspiring.
