Morning came a bit too soon today. No smoothie today, just yogurt. Walk around "my square." Yes, I did it this morning! Deep breaths. I reminded myself that I don't need to run. This can be a few moments of walking meditation. I took note of flowers, the feel of the air on my hands, my feet striking the ground. My random shuffle had hit a spate of Taj Mahal tunes. Happy songs (odd for the blues, huh?) You know, I met Taj once. Though I do not know him, in my imagination he has become sort of an ideal for me. Strong, very clear, lovingly authoritative, joyful. This morning those ideals filled my thoughts. I am grateful for all of the strong, joyful, loving people in my life. I am grateful for those shining souls before, around and behind me - some of them gone, some standing beside me and some those who I know through their words, photos and stories. I am grateful today for all that inspires me to goodness and sustains me on my path. As I thought of these people, their words echoing in my heart and their faces dancing across my mind, I felt buoyant; my steps were lighter. And I had to laugh, walking meditation becomes laughing meditation and I was walking in light.
And so are you.
