Vast bright horizons arrange themselves in my path

In the beginning a clarity of intention is essential.

Years ago; lifetimes ago it seems--I used to go walking and often hiking in the hills and mountains near and far, often.

As the years slipped by that became as often as possible, then rarely, and then....for a long time now ..... never.

Sure, I do walk. From house to car, from car to job site, from job site to car, from car to grocery store, you know the drill.

And of course I walk a lot from place to place, and even up and down the stairs, inside my house, and when I visit friends and family.

The everyday routine walking is not enough to constitute exercise for me.

I needed to create something for this New Year that would be a realistic and perhaps challenging requirement for myself. That will be walking. Morning will be the time.

Maybe not everyday, as that's creating a goal that will insure failure, and I don't want to be that sort of taskmaster to myself.

Part of it is intention to create a meditative space, some true Zen observation of what occurs around and within me during these walks. Part of it is exercise--getting myself in motion, and out of a place of stagnancy (as defined in Chinese Medicine).

I visualize it all coming together as a perfect space for moving forward in my life, and sharing what I see and experience with you.

And someday soon, let us begin.....
