The secret of walking

September 25, 2017 by Chris Gribble

The secret of walking
Is to set out,
Take a step forward,
Explore the unplanned path
Be open to discovery,
Noticing those who choose
To walk with you,
Join with their presence,
Mostly it’s silence that speaks,,
Because, talking would interrupt,
What is heard in the quiet,
Stop to celebrate the views,
Remembering the solitary path,
Is never taken alone,
There are always companions,
Who share the adventure,
If we remember to stop,
Wait and imagine,
Where the next steps will lead.

Joining spirit and action; soul and work; heart and calling

Today I am going to start …

Today I am going to start living
As only I can live,
I am going to walk in the bush
Listen lovingly to friends,
Take time to hear the birds sing
Love my wife
Be present for my children,
And, wonder at this precious gift
Of life and dreams and time,
Just today, is all I have,
Today I am going to live.
