Do you ever feel like you’re walking along, the is air calm and warm, and then a word, a sound, changes everything? The breeze becomes cold flowing from the core, rippling to the surface.
This kind of energy has been flowing through me on and off the last few days as I’ve considered some changes. What does one do with this energy?
Walking on, when I got to the light I stopped. I looked back at the person I barely noticed passing. Did I say, “Good morning?”
The light changed and I walked on still shivering. Passing another person I said, “Good morning.” They replied with a kind smile. I heard them say to another behind me, “Good morning.”
Branches sway cracking
ripples inward outward flow,
Silent lion roars
One of the things I love most about the small pueblo of Yelapa where we have been coming for part of the winter for 23 years, is that everyone greets each other on the trail whether you know them or not – “Hola!”
