Balancing


A hummingbird appeared before us, cocked its tiny head in curiosity, and disappeared. We continued on down the tree-shaded path toward the sound of running water.

Reaching the edge of the trees, we found ourselves on the bank of a stream where water leaped happily over rocks. On the other side of the stream loomed one of the water-streaked cliffs that cradled this desert paradise.

A beautiful wood bridge stretched across the water, to a trail that twisted up the side of the cliff, and then along the cliff face into the distance.

At the foot of the cliff was a sign: “Sudden drop offs! Children must be accompanied by an adult!”

“Have you done much hiking?” I asked.


I shifted my grip to her wrist, and said, “About fifteen years ago I visited a friend who lived in a national park. The first morning he took me for a walk up a hill, to check on a ritual site he’d built on top. There was no path, and the hill was covered with these loose, broken rocks that tended to slide. He watched me very carefully at first, to see if I knew how to walk on that.”


“There is a skill to walking in the wild lands that we don’t learn in the city. There are loose stones and pebbles, slippery gravel, sand, and mud, and it takes time and experience to learn to walk across all those without thought. But, beyond and behind that skill, there is inner balance.”



The cliff-side path was moist with seepage, there were stones, pebbles, sand, and gravel, rocks to step on or over, and on our right, the steep drop.

“Just focus in your heart, call on the energy of harmony, and radiate that energy into and throughout your physical body. Hold that focus in the heart as you walk, and your body will automatically balance itself as you move.”

I extended my field of balancing energy to enfold her, and felt her kindle her own.

Namaste,

Glen
