I personally don't own orange shoes, but if I did and I was of the female persuasion I would surely want a pair like yours.<br /><br />I really liked the idea of every act being a potential meditation. I completely agree with that. The effulgence of the moment is how I think of it to myself.<br /><br />Also, I am curious if the burning bush you mentioned said anything.Hulleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936914788689260243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356771.post-53316358953467227312006-11-17T11:22:00.000-08:002006-11-17T11:22:00.000-08:00LOL.

I get pulled like that too-and sometimes it just turns into an inner cyclone and drives me nearly mad.<br /><br />I loved your walking meditation and those shoes are fabulous.<br /><br />I think I need to take a nap myself-as I went to bed at 2 after drawing late.<br /><br />Glad you got your paper done.<br />Love youColorsonmymindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424878757140605099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356771.post-85572613452407024932006-11-17T03:24:00.000-08:002006-11-17T03:24:00.000-08:00Hi again,

I have the attention span of a knat and sometimes find it hard to focus, so I realy need to incorporate mindfulness more into my life. The flat needs tidying so I guess now is as good a time as any..<br /><br />Beautiful writing by the way. We don't tend to talk about 'fall' over here, but it's got such poetic connotations. I love the idea of a 'purple fall jacket' with orange shoes and all those colours of autumn swirling around.Such a strong image. The last paragraph too, with its soft cloth covers of poetry. Seems to say everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356771.post-67693077231274140012006-11-17T01:26:00.001-08:002006-11-17T01:26:00.001-08:00"when it got too cold to barefoot my meditation ar..."when it got too cold to barefoot my meditation around montreal"<br /><br />i LOVE this line so much. i love that you've taken meditation and made it MOVEMENT. not to mention you've made barefoot a verb!Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031370976246712353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356771.post-73426392102742956442006-11-17T01:26:00.000-08:002006-11-17T01:26:00.000-08:00Hmmmm I love those shoes...you cutie pie.

(okay being literal her! ha ha) Colored shoes rock! And your orange shoes.....sooooo cute.<br /><br />I resonate so much with the difficulty you have with being in the moment. I have to say that since moving to Portland, I do stop to take things in. I do see and appreciate the colors and the smells and air...and the m.o.m.e.n.t.s I think that part of this has to do with the fact that I am SO MUCH HAPPIER here, and the part has to do with the fact that I feel at home here. My surroundings feed me...they comfort me. I actually stop to look around and breathe it in. I don't do this all the time; I do need to remind myself, but when I do, I feel so much better. It is a work in progress, just as I am a work in progress.<br /><br />Thank you for the gift of your heartfelt and wise words...again.<br /><br />Love to you....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356771.post-16440132948911635922006-11-16T22:07:00.000-08:002006-11-16T22:07:00.000-08:00bee this is so great. i hope you find yourself sii...bee this is so great. i hope you find yourself siighing some more.kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384702349969316501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356771.post-71615496902826152162006-11-16T14:24:00.000-08:002006-11-16T14:24:00.000-08:00I'm in love with your Maceo orange shoes.

In my big Irish family, I'd never really been alone. <br /><br />I did a silent 10-day sitting meditation retreat in 2002. I freakin' squirmed my way through the entire thing! now i practice meditation in motion. <br /><br />you go girl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356771.post-71793075289912397422006-11-16T13:52:00.000-08:002006-11-16T13:52:00.000-08:00these words are like one. gem. after. another.
