Walking in the mountains of my youth.
Quickly falling into the rhythm known from childhood onwards.
Suddenly - present in the here and now,
No-mind happens.
Feeling physical relaxation at the back of the scull - the location of the limbic brain.
A bit higher up the mountain the terrain gets rocky and more difficult.

Here is a poem for you:
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety;
If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without any pain.
From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret in this for anyone who can grasp it.
A reader wrote to me recently:
"I did miss your emails of inspiration and thoughtfulness - thank you!"
It's this that inspires me to continue writing these emails - why I came back after the lapse.
To sit down again and share my thoughts with you.
Hopefully, to give you some insights and inspiration in your journey.
In her next email the reader continued:
I guess you have had, and have now, a dream.
A dream that makes your life the way you would like it to be, and - maybe bring a sense of adventure, purpose, and wholeness.
Sometimes you act on it.
Rarely ever does it turn out the way you dreamt it.
