Tree, Walk, Thanks.
Continuing to think about why this blog is here, what am I 'supposed' to be doing here I have found my mind turning to the daily round of life here and how my interpretation of the sights sounds and even smells I encounter are bound up in the 'spirit' as much as any time of silence or saying of 'prayers' may be.
I know for my self that routine and ritual are important enough to build my days with these blocks. Because of fluctuations in health these blocks are not set in stone but are rather more fluid like the river I walk besides in my regular walks but they are always there underpinning and supporting daily life.
That I have called my daily prayers Waking, Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night rather than 6am 9am 2pm 5pm 9pm is indication, reminder to me that these too are not set in stone and have a fluidity born of the moment rather than a rigidity born of my mind.
Days are powered by heart and assisted by mind not the other way round.
