Climbing On Air – A Two Minute Meditation
This meditation video was shot at the Lynch Family Skate Park in Cambridge, MA a few days after it opened.
Perhaps I’m opening up new ground here offering a meditation on shredding. Perhaps not. But I could see that the skaters at the new Cambridge skate-park were achieving some kind of bliss associated with embodiment of awareness and presence in the moment. Whether or not you’ve ever ridden a board, there is a sense of being alive that you know these people are tapping into.
Enjoy.
Climbing On Air
Fluid and limber sinews
deliver gentle motion
to the board
finding air and ground
fleetingly
These hearts in motion
collect life and bruises
on the edge
where concrete meets naturalness
and cold iron inspires dance
here young astronauts
test out their wings

These videos are produced for those of us who spend an inordinately large amount of time in the cyber-world. They are not a substitute for unplugging from your devices and taking a stroll near trees, water, or a patch of unkempt grass. Getting out into the world - touching, smelling, hearing, and seeing nature is the best way to reconnect with our prime purpose.
What is our prime purpose? We are feeling and sensing machines. We are the universe looking back on itself. We are witness to the wonders and dangers of living in this corner of the cosmos. We are the seekers looking for connection a little further beyond yesterday's borders and boundaries.
But sitting and staring at the screen robs us of the sustenance that we rely upon for wonder and sanity. These videos are an opportunity to bring the sensations of nature to you, while you're in the cyber-world. Its an opportunity to relax your gaze, resettle your posture, and regain some depth in your breath. Listen and watch the video and allow your self to open up and recharge.
