Walking with Intention
Sacred scriptures, and the literary works spawned by them, are full of images of paths and passages, of wandering and wayfaring. Many other traditions speak of a path, often straight and narrow, and warn of roadblocks, such as of one’s own pride.
In this episode we speak about walking with intention and also reflect on a recent 200km walk we undertook across desert and mountain.
Book recommendations:
Walden by Henry David Thoreau
The Fellowship of the Ring by J R R Tolkien
