On The Road Again...

When you are wondering on the road, you can feel the weight of your spirit. It's a chance to take a good look at your real self and to see what and how you're doing. So traveling is much more than just a kind of hobby or interest. It's an opportunity to seriously put yourself back in order and to find new meaning in life. And it's a great way to practice for when you're getting ready to leave this world.

From "On The Road" by Bopjong Sunim translated in The Sound of Water, The Sound of Wind: and other early works by a mountain monk

One will be traveling here and there throughout the next month or so. Expect the blog posts to continue in about a months time.

Until then...

Peace

Where ever you are I hope it's full of richness and enjoyment.; July 22, 2011 at 12:15 AM
Matt said...: Bev,

Hahaha... you have definitely been reading too many books on monks.

Thanks for the peace though.
