It is a cool and cloudy day this morning as I write this post. Still, it didn’t prevent me from being able to meditate on our back deck, skyclad. This isn’t an issue between my non-naturist wife and myself. Since no one sees me meditating and I meditate nude indoors as well, she doesn’t view this as my being an exhibitionist. Meditation does centre me so that I don’t get too reactive to stressors. Of course, when circumstances demand it, I do meditate while clothed as well.
Our daily walking into the countryside and back, varying our distances and directions has made me a lot stronger and more fit than when I was in the last decade of my career in education. I still do too much sitting at the keyboard writing. Still, that time (like now) has its own rewards. I have books in print to show for my efforts, books that are worth the paper they have been printed on according to those who have read one or more of the books and spoken to me about them. I imagine others could care less about the words and simply want to look at the photos.
The time for beginning our walk through northern Spain on the Camino, is drawing closer. I think we have everything we will be carrying with all of it fitted into our backpacks and weighed. Luckily, we still have time and weight to spare in case we have forgotten something.
