Holy Moments

Walking all these miles gives ample time for the mind to do whatever it wants to.

When I am not walking and chatting with someone, I revel in my alone time.

The sages tell us that to be truly happy, one must be present in the moment – to simply Be Here Now.

The bonus of traveling, of being in motion at the speed of 3 miles an hour, is the added dimension of moving through space and being in a Larger Here and a Longer Now.

Every travel junkie knows of this – it’s that moment of bliss when you realize you are in a very special place, laced with history, soul and spirit.  You get the sense of those who have been here before you, who have stood where you are standing, and walked the path you are walking. 

And it can also happen in the simplest act of walking to the corner store in your own neigborhood.
When it does, it is always a surprise, and a gift.

Yes, it’s kinda woo-woo, and those of you who know the feeling are nodding your heads and smiling right about now.
