After a bad week I was feeling drained, and extremely angry so I decided to cycle along my favorite canal path. For about 10 minutes the sun came out and I stood closing my eyes and feeling the growing warmth on my face. It reminded me of when I was not well, and would sit in the garden just feeling the growing warmth of the sun getting stronger each day. Life was returning to nature, and everything was thriving, except me. I shall never forget the intensity of that suffering and the ecstasy of feeling that spring energy. Ive sat many times in that garden since, but have never managed to regain that intense feeling. My only concern was me and getting better. It was such a pure state. I didnt care about anything else.
But you are so lucky because where you live, you can actually "get away" from everyone and it looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI live in a small town, so even though I can take a walk in the woods, it's filled with homeless people. I stopped going there because of that. I heard someone tell me that there is a spot in the woods filled with hundreds of old bikes that people have left.
Ive learnt that time spent like this needs to occur regular for me now.
