The mind can go in a thousand directions,
But on this beautiful path, I walk in peace.
With each step, a gentle wind blows,
With each step, a flower blooms.

Or

The mind can go in a thousand directions,
But on this walking path right now, I walk in peace.
With each step, my body steps with awareness,
With each step, breath takes harmonious,
And my mind naturally returns to ease.

A practice of slow walk, about 6 feet, no step until you have fully arrived to present, 1 small step with breathe in, another breathe out. Checkin and wait for yourself

Breathing in, i go back to the island within me,
Breathing out, the peace expands

I give up, Buddha you walk for me

When we open the door and go out into the fresh air, we can be immediately in touch with the air and the Earth and know it is alive matter. Steps like these have the power to save our lives. My friend Shri Ananta Das also mentioned the latter

After a while, you don’t make any effort, there is no struggle or practice, just walking natural, and happiness follows(paraphrased)

As the book reading only called over time, i reached the page, “mindful steps can be one step with breathe in, three with breath out to one step with each breath in and another with breath out”, it was such as revelation and gift during Toluca park, Mexico volcano hike with ups and downs at 12,000 to 15,000 feet elevation

As you start walking mindfully, you might hear your cosmic body(soul) saying, “i don’t want to run anymore. I want to stop. I want to live my life. I don’t want to miss the wonders of life”
