Walks...





.....in silence

Walking for over three weeks now, on roads paved on either sides with snow, cold wind beating my face - walking in meditation, breathing in deep and breathing out, has been my greatest recreation here. I might leave with reluctance, because leaving home means dressing adequately in thermals, shoes, socks, woolen cap, winter jacket and gloves...and that's quite a lot for me at least!

But just the moment I leave home and set out on the road, the laziness vanishes into the dense cold air. When I breathe in, it is the breath of Existence and when I breathe out, it is my little self that vanishes into the same ocean.
My view of Chicago, spanning the earth and sky and all that's in between.

Yes, Swaha, breathing is a prayer. Blessings to you.

Hi Swahilya:

I felt the same when I walked in the cold streets of Michigan. I felt so suffocated in my apartment that I dared to venture out like you. And after a few minutes, all I felt that I was swimming in the pure fresh Prana! Thanks for spreading the enthusiasm.

Dear Swahilya
With your words you have taken me to the location. Its easy to mix with the nature easily and forget ourselves.
Love,
