3) I would need to live like lieutenant John Dunbar.
😅
My daughter and I just watched Dances with Wolves last night, and at one point we both looked at each other and said "how amazing would it be to be able to live alone like that with nothing to see or hear for miles in any direction."
So today I am listening to that fantastic score by John Barry in otherwise silence focusing on deep work.
I belong to a group, Retreat on 2 Feet. From Friday evening until yesterday afternoon we were at Holy Wisdom Monastery practicing forms of contempletive walking, slow thoughtful strolling. Sometimes alone, sometimes exchanging our stories with another: one would talk, the other listen, as we were strolling side by side. Time spent mattered, not distance covered.
We would then debrief the experience in community. Three of us pondered the melting snow, the rivulets of running water, and the waters effect when it encountered unmelted snow. Two of us actually took videos of the 'action'.
The space and peace this time apart created was exceptional.
Great segment and I too appreciate honey 🍯 I get it from a local source as is said the local bees 🐝 obtain nectar from plants in the area that may cause allergies. If we use their honey we have a better chance of being healthy. I have never had Reactions to the coronavirus, rarely get sick although a regular intake of vitamins also helps. Anyway I pray twice a day and find some times for silence and also spiritual reading and need more nature walk’s perhaps 🤔 lastly did you know the word listen has the same letters as silent 🤫 😎 peace and joy today!

I'm a fan of local honey as well for all the marvelous reasons you share. Meditative walks that include prayer are powerful. I di that on my running as well though it took several years before I could do both.

That's a potent reflection topic for sure. I'm not sure I could do that all the time though days filled with silence and solitude are nice.

Contemplative walking. Love that idea and your experience sounds splendid.
