I recently went on a week long Dharma walk. For seven days we walked a total of 57 miles in silent meditation. At the end of it, we arrived on a cliff overlooking the most beautiful valley I've ever seen. I sat and watched as this Buddhist nun performed 14 step meditation, feeling more happiness in my heart that possibly ever before.
Before coming on this walk, I was feeling crushed. My job is difficult and I deal with students everyday who are failing and heading down dangerous paths at young ages. And the teacher I work with don't speak the same language and often don't give me the impression they care. I was lost. Who knew all I needed to find myself again was to walk? |
