Walking through life.?!

Trying to find a feeling that we all seem to be searching for, we walk down to the shops thinking of how the world is judging us?, and trying to remember what we are going to the shop for! I was thinking for a while that a journey would take effort, be a struggle, a task that hadn't been the greatest of outcomes in my previous experiences, now I enjoy the walk as I see how amazing the world is! I ponder on how well nature adjusts to it environment, how through the years of growth, we have lived through wars and disaster, through flurries of excitement and joyful moments, we live on in time.

I'm sat here listening to a YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/live/omJyKnvQVOI?feature=share from someone's mind to my ear! I have enjoyed listening to the teachings, as much as the talks, for me Ram Dass has helped me look at things that were happening in my life, helped me look at the experiences in a more relaxed approach, not so attached to the emotional me and more from the me who wanted to be better!, I wanted to look from a different perspective, instead of thinking it must of been my fault this happened, to trying to understand why this happened!.

Looking at how the sun rises and watching it set is a beauty to behold and we are busy in life, to busy, we miss so many special moments, are we so busy to take time, to enjoy the flow of life happening around us, can we enjoy it with the people around us, can we walk along the streets hand in hand, side by side, can we enjoy the sun setting, would we greete the rising sun in a loving embrace?, time will tell, and in time, all will be revealed.

Walking along the coast and watching the sun setting, taking just a couple of minutes from the day and to just take in the air and watch the sun moving, beyond our veiw, breathing in the moment, the place, the experience. The image above is of just one of those moments. I have sat on the benches and watched hours of waves rolling in and out, moving waters, an ocean of possibilities, from the roads I've driven down to places I've lived, the coast has played a roll in letting me escape, to make it possible for me to just breath in and take a moment, growing up, I have lived near the Essex and Suffolk coast line, walked through caves that fill with water when the tied is in, jumped little streams in the woods, played in rivers and swam in the sea, just recently I watched a documentary on grounding, https://youtu.be/44ddtR0XDVU in this, it high lites the benefits that other people have found, from changing a simple thing like their foot ware, to the amount of time they spend bare foot in their surroundings. It is their experiences, and some of the science to show and help explain, I know how it feels for me just breathing in the air and just sitting on a stone filled beach, I know how it helps me to take a bit of time out of my day to just sit, breath and enjoy.

I catch myself enjoying the moment, and only recently I have had the opportunity to enjoy more of the time I have, with others, more moments where I'm enjoying the breeze in the air, the sun on my face and the smile on my face, it all feels amazing when I'm just walking through life, looking at the world doing the things, watching the birds, watching the wind blowing through the trees, watching the waves of water flowing down the streams and rivers to watching the waves crashing against the rocks of the foot of the cliffs. Watching the crops growing in the fields from a tiny sprouting seeds to the food that we eat, seeing the farmers, the gardeners, the builders, bakers and candle stick makers, the postman doing his rounds, the delivery driver looking for number 36? It just seems to be all the same flow, the movement of life that just flows. There can be so much more added, and more commonly found in our surrounding thoughts, I know my walk through life hasn't always been a smooth flow and I'm still having whirlpool moments, a bout of the rapids here and there, to being in a place that felt like calm and still lake pond after coming through what felt like Niagra falls, can be so disorientating a harsh shock and almost a life draining experience, when I was looking into my life remembering the flow, walking the steps in reverse, it showed me my actions, thoughts and beliefs, all these emotions I was holding onto weren't even mine. The more I meditated the more I was feeling, seeing and hearing and the more I practiced breath work, I found myself doing it whilst sitting in a traffic jam, in a shop cueing and even when walking along the beech, the more I was practicing awareness, mindfulness the more I was feeling, seeing and hearing in my meditations.

The more we walk through life the more we experience from life, the more we can explore within ourselves, the more we will see how amazing the world around us is.
