Summer Solstice: A Walking Meditation in the Park

Saturday, June 22, at 2pm 

Join me to mark the turn of the season with a walk through the labyrinth at Hawk Hill, in High Park.

Walking meditation is a wonderful way to enter a different state of mind, with the repetition and meandering lines of the labyrinth giving us a form to shape the practice. Movement in community and in the elements, all work together to help us move toward a centred state of ease.

Spring!

What seeds begin to stir and move the cold ground? What storms are blowing through? There is so much energy moving all around us — let’s move with it, with attention, with devotion.

Amor Mundi: Love of the World

In Buddhist practice, maitrī — benevolence or loving-kindness — is the foundation of compassion. What better ground to build our capacity for clear-sighted love, to open our hearts in our relationships and in our actions: to deepen our love of the world.

Indigo Sky Multiplied

Blue blue blue! The brilliance of the blue sky! I have recently made a vow to myself, to make the very best of each weather condition that nourishes me, as it nourishes me. (Even if it is out of season.)

This week

This week I’m thinking about … (a cartoon and a new class!)

Energy Renewing Itself

the principle of allowing energy that is renewing itself,

to be reinforced by rest…

the necessity of tenderness

For the Time Being

Time, oh time … I am a time-being, a being in a complex relationship with time. Who among us is not?

I grieve the speed of time flying … except in October.

a fresh start

I was reading yesterday in the I Ching, hexagram 32. Hêng, or “Duration.” This hexagram is made of two trigrams: The Gentle / Wind, below, and The Arousing / Thunder, above. How fascinating that two such dynamic natural forces, combined, could yield an association with union and constancy! But in this iconography, the explanation goes:

the gifts of summer

So quickly this July is flying! And so many friends literally flying, springing free, outbound on wings of metal, after these strange years of such restricted movement. It is a gift to move freely when we have felt bound.
