So pleased, and honestly a bit surprised, to have kept this promise to myself: 30 hikes for 30 consecutive days on the trails in the nearby forest. This 30 Days in the Forest project also included a sketch for each day. Done! While I did fall behind a couple times in the sketching department, very often the sketch for the day was done on the same day; capturing the unique feel of each hike. Sometimes I ran part of the hike; some days just walked, or walked with a friend. Sometimes I included a walking version of the Kirtan Kriya meditation. And since this project has started feeling a bit like a moving meditation, I’ve decided to extend it to 40 days, the traditional number of days to practice a given meditation. I made it there today (honestly, dragged myself) for Day 31 and felt better for the walk. Here’s to 9 more!
