We are very blessed to have the Black Ranges right on our doorstep. So the past few mornings I have walked the steep ridge behind our house. I have walked to find and honour the stillness that is within. I have walked to slow the incessant mind chatter that sometimes takes over. I have walked to feel this heart of mine beat and feel the chilly morning air fill these lungs. I have walked to feel my breath. I have walked for a few moments of calm and peace in these oh so busy days. I have walked so that Mother Earth can weave her magic on me. The birdsong, the breeze, the trees and flowers, the rocks and soil, the sky. Just me and this old girl....walking.
