CJ: Day 7
So today was...different. the morning began with
us getting up too early as a result of someone's incompetence. (Chip!) It was
raining this morning when we woke up and during meditation. It of course
stopped because I just can't get any rain on this trip. After meditation we had
breakfast. The food is not bad but the format of being silent and eating as a
group is weirding me out. Then we began walking meditation into the forest.
This was the high point of my day because there was a place I could just sit
and look out into the forest. I could stay on that spot for days. There was
just some thing...very special about it. Then after a break we had lunch then I
got to work at the happy farms. This made me appreicate the fact that I live in
America with a rich family so I don't have to work like this. That was pretty
much my day. The part I really cared about was that forest. I still can't put my
finger on it, but I felt at peace. Hope everything is o.k. in the states.

I don't think Chip is incompetent, but sounds like another early morning for you! Walking meditation into the forest sounds really calm and relaxing. I hope you're having a great time and Namaste. -Faith
ReplyDeleteDon't forget mindfulness continues while blogging (CJ! (minfully). Enjoy your travels through MINDFULLNESS, Namaste.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are appreciating the experience. Didn't rain here either so we got to play baseball. We all miss you. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteHi CJ! I know that before leaving, you were kind of worried about the whole being silent thing. But I'm so glad to hear that you've been able to find peace in the beautiful forests! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThat thing you felt in the forest...I think that you enjoy it because it is a lot quieter than the city, and nothings happening, and that you have all your stress released from your shoulders. --JJ
