The Cold

With palms together


Good Morning Everyone,



The air this sunrise was cold and, as we walked Suki, we felt my physique grow tense. Partial stoppage is a funny thing. In a winter, muscles stipulate as good as moving to a point they simply will not release. My partial stoppage of my left arm as good as leg creates it scarcely unfit to walk. Everything becomes tight; everything clenches. we feel myself tighten opposite a cold. It is an emotionally as good as psychologically challenging experience.



I practice my own version of kinhin. we deliberately inhale out, revelation my leg to open, revelation my arm to relax, as good as revelation my chest to breathe. we take a step, a tension returns. Another breath. And another. Sooner or later we get to where we am going.



This sunrise was no different. we loose a grip cold air had upon my limbs as good as took one step, then another. Suki helped by doing her dance as good as pulling upon my arm. Her friskiness in a cold air, as good as her obvious happiness in it, made my onslaught worthwhile.



Sometimes it takes dual to make a difference.



Be well.Zen wisdom for daily living.
