ONE STEP AT A TIME

.

.

When we walk for exercise, we discover 

There are many types of walking

Worry upset walking is how I began walking for exercise

Walking calmed me down, made space between me

And what was perplexing me

Gradually I added Mantra walking

Repeating a helpful phrase over and over

Philosophy walking when I mull over the weighty issues

We all grapple with occasionally

Or in my case, daily

Wrapping-My-Head around it walking

Where I am just beginning to cope

Counting Steps walking when I just don't want any thoughts at all

Imagination walking where I am anywhere my dream mind conjures up

London with Sherlock Holmes, The Silk Road, The Orient Express, Mars

Mindful walking where I coordinate my steps to my breath

Therapeutic walking where me and my Tulpa walk together

Chatting amiably about diverse topics

My favorite is Zen Walking where I simply walk, not thinking

Just experiencing the walking

This often turns into a forest of calm and retreat

To refresh my soul and spirit
