The Art of Walking - Thich Nhat Hanh
The first thing to do is lift your foot. Inhale. Lower your foot and place it in front of you, heel first, then toes. Exhale. Feel your foot firmly on the Earth. You have arrived. We often walk with the sole purpose of getting from one place to another. But where do we find ourselves in between? With each step we can feel the miracle of walking on solid ground. We can arrive at the present moment with each step.
We will take several breaks for reflection/meditation on silence and mindfulness.
