On the Verge of Journey
I’m on the verge of Journey. My son David was here this week, 
and he reminded me that it won’t matter so much where I am, what land I’m on— only that I’m truly there in that place and moment. His wisdom reminds me of the Thich Nhat Hanh chant we sometimes sing at my Mountain Mindfulness Sangha here in Asheville, Journey to Nowhere.
We’re all moving/ on a journey to nowhere.
Taking it easy, taking it slow.
No more worries,/ no need to hurry.
Nothing to carry, let it all go.
And let’s also all remember that whatever land we are on, it was likely taken from Native People. Let’s honor them by emulating their intimate relationship with whatever land nurtures us.
So glad you are sharing your journey and latest adventure. Enjoy the moment.
What sweet photos! How wonderful to have your son there to help you on your way. I can’t wait to see you and show you around my bit of paradise!
