RE: The Three Marks Of Existence
I've had these crystal clear moments when the truth of things are revealed and I come to understand on a level of higher consciousness what you share here today, and from time to time I am fortunate enough to reestablish those insights. But oh my, how human I am! I guess more walking meditations with the dogs and more quite meditations at home are in order. I do appreciate your posts however. many blessings.
We are blessed to be human my teachers have told me, we aren't in too much bliss like the Gods or too much pain like animals and hell beings. I like walking meditation at retreat after sitting for a long time. I walk for miles a day for my health and it is my favorite exercise.
I love reading the suttas because they are like a chill pill for me, I am glad you find this to be true as well @mistermercury!
Yes, even this morning as I walked the dogs out in the fields (sage, juniper, coyotes and rabbits, oh and wild horses too) I found my favorite spot beneath a 200-year-old Juniper and dissolved myself into my surroundings. I don't think I could live without the walking and the dissolving.
Lucky dogs though, I figure I walk a little more than a thousand miles a year with them... at least. They have learned to come wait for me patiently as I meditate. Here is my favorite Rumi post of the day: "Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place." Peace be unto you.
