Re: So I made the decision on what to DO
Beth,
walking softly *is* good. You, like us, must have lots of snow...here it has created high soft "shoulders" on all the hard edges: railings, walls, nestling into the crooks and crotches of the trees. It started out like a fine sand last night and right now is large fathers. (edit: haha. I meant feathers but fathers is serendipitous as in a prayer than begins Heavenly Father, Divine Mother...) How wonderful. Just around the corner from where I live is the most beautiful place, two streets away from shops and a village within a city of millions,
this ravine where all the snow will have settled over the creeks and dry marsh grasses.
It's like a cathedral in there, and you can walk for miles. The other way to walk that comes to mind is "in beauty". I think that's very much what Abraham is getting to.
Walking in beauty is awakeness to moving with Grace in the flow of living and radiant energy that is before you, behind you, to the right and to the left. And of course, --so easy to recognize on a day of falling snow-- "as above, so below".
best,
Alison
