A New Day (February 28th) …
February 28 – A New Way: Go for a one-hour walk today — backwards …
(Remember to smile while doing so).
Of course, the first question that crossed my mind was: What does this activity have to do with selfless service? Indeed, it is not immediately apparent that this task is relevant to our Quest for Kindness. And yet, it remains Purpose-full nonetheless …
Every time we consciously engage any activity that goes against the flow of “the norm” – as long as that activity is not likely to harm another being or ourselves, part of us reawakens … We reawaken to the societal conventions that would have us rather be safe than caring.
We awaken to the fears we have of the unknown; in this particular case the desire to always “know where we are going”.
And we awaken to the True Self within us that is beyond those conventions and above those fears – the True Self that must awaken in order for us to ever consciously extend Kindness to another being.
So, with that in mind, go give it a whirl …
Go choose to wake up!
See You when I see you …
… and until then, Be Now!
