Great to have you here for another Walden Wednesday!
It’s all about intentionally carving a few moments out of your day in a relaxing nature setting in an effort to affect the quality of our lives. We do this by slowing the heart and mind, down enough to absorb the thoughts, ideas, philosophies and writings of naturalists and appreciators of Nature like Emerson, Whitman and Thoreau. And then at the end we give you a little time to just “Be”, and settle into a deeper state of awareness as you go through your day, fully-awake, fully-present, alive and intentionally growing into the person you desire to become.
In today’s reading we visit with Henry Thoreau by a stream near Walden pond and ponder the question,
“How can I simplify my life to the point that I am Awake and mindfully Aware each and every moment of my day to a Perpetual Morning”? And… “What would that look like”?”
So now, I invite you to close your eyes, take a deep breath and enjoy a passage taken from the classic, Walden: or, Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau. This reading is from the chapter, “Where I lived, and What I Lived For”.
