I actually started my trip yesterday! I struggled to actually feel like that 6 hour drive stretch was part of the adventure, because I have made that trip so many times over the years. There was nothing new to see, to explore.
However what was new was my ponderings and thoughts. I have not made this drive alone, in the quiet of a car with nothing but my thoughts. I had a really inspiring CD set that a friend made for me, teachings from someone he studied under.
When he handed them to me yesterday morning he asked if I knew what I was moving toward with this trip. I said I think I do. He said that was good, and told me what to listen to first. His teacher focuses a lot on intention, moving towards what you want in your life, instead of whirling about in the business that can take us away from living intentionally. There was a lot of talk about joy, living joyfully in every moment. It really resonated with me.
My drive was spectacular, crossing the Rocky Mountains. I did make myself take some pictures to share, and I stopped and took a long walk along the Colorado River in Glenwood Canyon. I suddenly had just an unstoppable need to walk barefoot, to feel the ground under my feet. I know that was about needing to ground myself to the earth, to feel where I was.
