Keep Walking

Photo by A. Rausch

It’s been a minute and I have traveled the globe with lots of walking. As I sit to write this I’m reminded of the words of Rumi, “Keep walking, though there is no place to get to. Don’t try to see through the distances. That’s not for human beings. Move within, but don’t move the way fear makes you move.” The question for me is how to let go of the fear. I think most days it is putting one foot in front of the other and staying in the present. Here are some things that are keeping me to put one foot in front of the other and staying here in today. Books, The Let Them Theory, by Mel Robbins, Ten Poems to Change Your Life, by Roger Housden, Podcasts from Kate Bowler, KFF What the Health, and Kelly Corrigan, Substacks by Heather Cox Richardson, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Parker J Palmer, Dave Barry, Diana Butler Bass, and Poetry Unbound. Be well.
