Musings of the journey...

Help! Thanks! WOW!

6/26/2014

Today I did something I have never done.  I walked 16 miles from Dublin's Marlay Park to Knockree Valley, up and down the Wicklow Mountains.  Somewhere during this extraordinary walk, I thought of Annie Lamont's book about prayer, Help, Thanks, Wow!  It was a day of prayer beginning with "Help me as I walk today... may I keep remembering it's just one step at time."  Then as that first climb out of Marlay Park seemed endless, with heavy breathing, "Help me" was all I could think since I didn't have any breath for anything more.  

And then, I came out on the top of this long haul and had a stunning view of Dublin and the Bay.  WOW!  It was very easy to pray, "Thanks."  


As the day continued, it became the rhythm of my walk... Help, Thanks, Wow! not necessarily in that order.  Trust me the Wows! were numerous followed by a deep soulful Thanks.  


Maybe I need to walk everyday in this way... totally present to when I need help and asking for it, mindful of the wows as help is provided, and deeply grateful the Divine is always moving in me, before me, behind me, and all around me. 

On the way... Cathy

Your physical journey sounds so familiar to my own (non-physical) journey at this moment. Blessings, Cathy! May your steps be light and your vistas be breathtaking. ♥
