Sun and Planets Spiritualities (AYINRIN): Spiritual Quotations on Walks - Quotation by Sun and Planets Spirituality AYINRIN

Quotation by Sun and Planets Spirituality AYINRIN

In Christian prayer, we "pray" anytime we deliberately choose to relate to God. Thus, prayer consists of a vast assortment of modes, including: using words to converse with God, using no words with the aim of listening quietly and savoring divine presence, ruminating over thoughts and ideas, trying not to have any thoughts and ideas, extending and receiving love, imaging and visualizing, and searching for guidance by discerning choices and decisions. Within these modes, there are numerous human expressions in communicating with God: intercessory, praise, contrition, gratitude, grieving, searching, celebrating, struggling, etc.

Varied methods comprise the content of prayer: reciting the psalms alone or with others, pondering Scripture passages or other sacred texts, using repetition such as a word or phrase in centering meditation, praying the rosary, carrying on a conversation with God, walking meditatively, enjoying the beauty and wonder of nature, using the written prayers of others, journaling one's own reflections and prayer, sitting in solitude and contemplation, joining others for Eucharistic liturgy or participating in other sacramental celebrations, reading spiritually oriented books that help one pause to ponder and draw inspiration for communion with God and, every now and then, doing what my friend Judy Cauley terms "emergency prayer," which consists of just one loudly spoken word: "HELP!" These ways, plus all those unexpected moments in the midst of life when we sense a oneness with the Great Mystery, are part of what is known as "prayer."

Spiritual Quotation

Quotation by Barbara Ann Kipfer

As I take my first step, my foot kisses the floor. With gratitude to the earth, I walk in liberation.

— Barbara Ann Kipfer, 201 Little Buddhist Reminders.

Quotation by Neil Douglas-Klotz

There are many sayings, in both the Qur'an and the sayings of Muhammad (called hadith) in which Allah says that if seekers take one step on the path, Sacred Unity will take ten steps toward them:

If they remember me in their heart,

I remember them within my heart.
If they come toward me walking,
I come toward them running.

— Neil Douglas-Klotz, The Sufi Book of Life.

Quotation by Jane Kenyon

Everything I Know About Writing Poetry

Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk. Take the phone off the hook. Work regular hours.

— Jane Kenyon, A Hundred White Daffodils.

Quotation by Evan T. Pritchard

Traveling by foot gives you a sense of personal accomplishment no other mode of transportation grants you. It also gives you a sense of how big our Turtle Island really is. (You would also grow very strong!)

— Evan T. Pritchard, No Word for Time.

Quotation by John Muir

I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.

— John Muir, The Vein of Gold by Julia Cameron.

Quotation by Wallace Stevens

Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.

— Wallace Stevens, Wallace Stevens by Charles M. Murphy.

Quotation by Edward Hoagland

Walking had always been one of life's centerpieces, especially in the city, where it enabled me to pack in enough joy, sensation, and exercise to make up for the deficits of urban living. Seventy, eighty blocks hadn't seemed a lot, and when younger I had been a whirlwind walker, attentive to developments a hundred yards ahead, which, with my native New Yorker street smarts, had kept me safe for decades.

— Edward Hoagland, Compass Points.

Quotation by Anna Akhmatova

I taught myself

to live simply and wisely

To look at the sky

and pray to God

and to wander long

before evening

to tire my

superfluous worries.

— Anna Akhmatova, WomanPrayers by Mary Ford-Grabowsky.

Quotation by Chet Raymo

Along the one-mile walk of the path [I walked daily], I have found these ostensibly competing tendencies happily fused: order and surprise, artificial and natural, civilized and wild, human self-interest and organic wholeness.

— Chet Raymo, The Path.

Quotation by Thich Nhat Hanh

In the Buddhist tradition, there is the practice of walking meditation. We walk because we have to go somewhere, but we walk in a way that brings us calm, stability, and joy with each step. The question is how to structure our lives so that we do each thing in mindfulness, without losing our practice.

— Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ.

Quotation by Kathleen Norris

Any marriage has times of separation, ill-health, or just plain crankiness, in which sexual intercourse is ill-advised. And it is precisely the skills of celibate friendship — fostering intimacy through letters, conversations, performing mundane tasks together (thus rendering them pleasurable), savoring the holy simplicity of a shared meal, or a walk together at dusk — that can help a marriage survive the rough spots. When you can't make love physically, you figure out other ways to do it.

— Kathleen Norris, The Cloister Walk.

Quotation by Kathleen Norris

Nearly every morning I walk past a young tree — some sort of locust — that signifies survival against all odds. Most likely it was stripped bare in its earliest years, when, every summer, a farmer mowed the roadside ditch for hay. But it lived on, a leaf or two surviving each year, until the farmer noticed it and decided to mow around it. It's now nearly seven feet tall, the only tree for hundreds of feet around. Standing alone at the very bottom of the shallow ditch, this clever tree catches what moisture it can. It feels natural for me to converse with it, in any season, in the light just before dawn.

— Kathleen Norris, The Cloister Walk.

Quotation by M. Basil Pennington

And so we go along, listening to the Lord, who is the Way; listening to one another, who share the way; listening to the way itself. The habit of beginning each day sitting still for a bit, listening to the Word of God who is the Way, engenders in us this listening attitude, this sensitivity that hears what each person, each event, each thing has to say to us. Life is rich, very rich, with communication. Let us listen together. Let us share what we hear. Let us walk together in the way, more sure for our being together and hearing together.

And may we all come together to the journey's joyous end.

— M. Basil Pennington, Listening: God's Word for Today.

Quotation by M. Basil Pennington

And here is another thing I have learned: God is with me on my walks and through the whole walk of life. I do try to make my walks a time of prayer, walking with God, as I would walk with a friend. I follow the early Christian practice and take a "word," a phrase or sentence, from my daily lectio and quietly repeat it. One day the word I had chosen was from our Lord's heart-to-heart talk with us at the Last Supper: "I am the Way." As I quietly repeated the word I suddenly realized that I was not just walking along this road. I was walking in the Way. That every step I take is in the Way, in the Lord Jesus, and is on the way, the way to eternal life. Since then my walking has been different, so much more significant.

— M. Basil Pennington, Listening: God's Word for Today.

Quotation by Lynne Bama

Once when I was walking on a footpath near my house I found a tiny arrowhead made of red chert poking out of the soil. An archaeologist friend told me it had been broken and mended, too precious to discard. I still have it on my desk, to remind me that those who lasted longest here left the least evidence.

— Lynne Bama, The Earth at Our Doorstep by Annie Stine, editor.

Quotation by Avram Davis

The holy Ari, one of the greatest of the kabbalists, Jewish mystics, said that when he went walking, he saw the trees filled with souls calling and singing among the leaves. He mentioned this vision several times.

— Avram Davis, The Way of Flame

Quotation by Aldous Huxley

My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.

— Aldous Huxley, How, Then, Shall We Live? by Wayne Muller.

Quotation by Soren Kierkegaard

No matter what, do not lose the joy of walking. I walk my way to health and away from illness every day. I have walked my way to my best ideas, and I know no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. . . If a person continues to walk like this, surely things will go well.

— Soren Kierkegaard, Surprises Around the Bend by Richard A. Hasler.

Quotation by Wendell Berry

Today, as always as I am afoot in the woods, I feel the possibility, the reasonableness, the practicality of living in the world in a way that would enlarge rather than diminish the hope of life.

— Wendell Berry, Recollected Essays 1965-1980: "The Long-Legged House"

Quotation by Richard A. Hasler

Mohandas Gandhi made a habit of daily walking in his early years. As a mature man he could out-walk anyone. In his time, his practice of regular walking would be transformed into a symbol for gaining independence for his Indian people through nonviolent means.

— Richard A. Hasler, Surprises Around the Bend.

Spiritual Quotation

Quotation by Shaun McNiff

When I read a poem, I engage its imagination with mine. I do the same thing when looking at a painting, listening to music, attending a play, taking a walk through a city, or feeling the imagination of water as I swim.

— Shaun McNiff, Earth Angels.

Quotation by Gary Snyder

Walking is the great adventure, the first mediation, a practice of heartiness and soul primary to humankind. Walking is the exact balance between spirit and humility.

— Gary Snyder, The Practice of the Wild.

Quotation by Wallace Stevens

Perhaps the truth depends upon a walk around the lake.

— Wallace Stevens, The Heart Aroused by David Whyte.

Quotation by Stanley Kunitz

I have walked through many lives,

some of them my own,

and I am not who I was,

though some principle of being

abides, from which I struggle

not to stray . . .

Though I lack the art to decipher it,

no doubt the next chapter

in my book of transformations

is already written.

I am not done with my changes.

— Stanley Kunitz, Judaism for Two by Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer, Nancy H. Wiener.

Quotation by Rami Shapiro

To sit in the dust of the wise is to travel in their footsteps, follow their logic, and test their conclusions. But once you have walked their path, you must step off and see what is so for yourself. Wisdom cannot be secondhand.

— Rami Shapiro, Ethics of the Sages.

Quotation by Wendell Berry

To go in the dark with a light is to

know the light.

To know the dark, go dark.

Go without sight, and find that the dark, too,

blooms and sings

and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

— Wendell Berry, The Shadow in America by Jeremiah Abrams, editor.

Quotation by Stephen Cope

Most of the stages of spiritual practice are stages of grief work. We have to let go of our deeply cherished dreams and illusions. And there's no way we're going to let them go until we have pretty much worn ourselves out trying to make them work. As Trungpa Rinpoche said," The shoe of the ego is only worn out by walking on it." The moment of raising the white flag, then, is a precious one, one that usually comes only as the fruit of exhaustion. Finally, we step deeper and deeper into the reality project not because we should or because we want to, but because we have to. The shoe is worn out.

— Stephen Cope, Yoga and the Quest for the True Self.

Quotation by Mary Oliver

Once, years ago, I emerged from the woods in the early morning at the end of a walk and — it was the most casual of moments — as I stepped from under the trees into the mild, pouring-down sunlight I experienced a sudden impact, a seizure of happiness. It was not the drowning sort of happiness, rather the floating sort. I made no struggle toward it; it was given. Time seemed to vanish. Urgency vanished. Any important difference between myself and all other things vanished. I knew that I belonged to the world, and felt comfortably my own containment in the totality. I did not feel that I understood any mystery, not at all; rather that I could be happy and feel blessed within the perplexity — the summer morning, its gentleness, the sense of the great work being done through the grass where I stood scarcely trembled. As I say, it was the most casual of moments, not mystical as the word is usually meant, for there was no vision, or anything extraordinary at all, but only a sudden awareness of the citizenry of all things within one world: leaves, dust, thrushes and finches, men and women. And yet it was a moment I have never forgotten, and upon which I have based many decisions in the years since.

— Mary Oliver, Long Life.

Quotation by Chet Raymo

Step by step, year by year, the landscape [the path walked daily from his home to the campus] I traversed became deeper, richer, more multidimensional, always overflowing the mind that sought to contain it. Ultimately, almost without my willing it, the path became more than a walk, more than an education, more than a life; it became the Path,/em>, a Tao (Way), a thread that ties one human life and the universe together.

— Chet Raymo, The Path.

Quotation by Nancy Roth

In walking meditation, our bodies themselves teach us the value of attentiveness to the present moment. When we slow down our walking, we may make some important connections. Letting our weight linger on the back foot when we should have our balance completely on the front one might remind us of what it feels like to cling to past resentments and regrets. On the other hand, if we think primarily of the next step rather than the one we are on, we will miss the satisfaction of being totally in balance on one foot. How often we do that with time itself, as we rush through our days without pausing to savor the goodness of the life God has given us. "Take time!" walking meditation tells us. Enjoy the rhythm of life intended for human nature, in which each moment is to be savored. "Now" is a holy word; it is in the present moment, no matter what its content of grief or joy, that God is found.

— Nancy Roth, Spiritual Exercises.

Quotation by Joyce Rupp

Imagine walking on a path where millions of feet from other lands and cultures have previously walked, feet that have trod hundreds of miles to reach a sacred site. Think of what it is like to have that same path and those same stones beneath your feet as you, too, walk for many weeks to reach the same destination. This is what it is like to be on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. It is a journey filled with spiritual connectedness and communal resonance.

— Joyce Rupp, Walk In a Relaxed Manner.

Quotation by Ram Dass

When we see the Beloved in each

person, it's like walking through

a garden, watching flowers

bloom all around us.

— Ram Dass, One-Liners.

Quotation by Mother Teresa

It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.

— Mother Teresa , Finding Water by Julia Cameron.

Quotation by Chet Raymo

In my daily rambles along the path, I have been inspired by a famous observer of the Irish landscape, the early-twentieth-cenury naturalist Robert Lloyd Praeger, who walked over all of Ireland "with reverent feet," he said, eschewing motor transport, "stopping often, watching closely, listening carefully."

— Chet Raymo, The Path.

Quotation by Edward Hays

With ever-new eyes, you can make your daily drive to work, a trip to the store, even a walk around the neighborhood into a voyage as rich and exciting as the epic journey of Columbus. Such an adventure is at your fingertips. It is also an essential part of the voyage-way of Jesus, the way of giving thanks always and for everything.

— Edward Hays, Feathers on the Wind.

Quotation by Thich Nhat Hanh

Walk as if you were kissing the Earth with your feet,

as if you were massaging the Earth.

— Thich Nhat Hanh, Call Me by My True Names

Quotation by Mary Oliver

The Morning Walk

There are a lot of words meaning thanks.
Some you can only whisper.
Others you can only sing.
The pewee whistles instead.
The snake turns in circles,
the beaver slaps his tail
on the surface of the pond.
The deer in the pinewoods stamps his hoof.
Goldfinches shine as they float through the air.
A person, sometimes, will hum a little Mahler.
Or put his arms around old oak tree.
Or take out lovely pencil and notebook to find a few touching, kissing words.

— Mary Oliver, Long Life.

Quotation by Robert J. Wicks

Listening to music from the Celtic version of the Secret Garden eases my soul when I am tense. A short walk in the woods detoxifies my spirit when I'm preoccupied with the sadness, futility, and fear I have encountered. Renewal zones are essential, then, if we are to remain vital, compassionate and grateful in life.

— Robert J. Wicks, Riding the dragon.

Quotation by Julia Cameron

Walking opens us up. It feeds us. Image by image, it spoons up for us a broth or soup of soul food, which sustains us as we do the work necessary to shape and reshape our lives. In other words, we can walk our way out of "problem" and into "solution."

— Julia Cameron, The Vein of Gold.

Quotation by Thomas Moore

Walking can be a soul activity, so long as it is not done for some heroic purpose such as getting somewhere, losing weight, or winning a race. It was easier, perhaps, in days past to exercise the soul this way because there were good places in which to do it — no danger from fast automobiles and more access to nature — and not as many alternative forms of travel. Walking inspires and promotes conversation that is grounded in the body, and so it gives the soul a place where it can thrive. I think I could write an interesting memoir of significant walks I have taken with others, in which intimacy was not only experienced but set fondly into the landscape of memory. When I was a child, I used to walk with my Uncle Tom on his farm, across fields and up and down hills. We talked of many things, some informative and some completely outrageous, and quite a few very tall stories emerged on those bucolic walks. Whatever the content of the talking, those conversations remain important memories for me of my attachment to my family, to a remarkable personality, and to nature.

— Thomas Moore, Soul Mates.

Quotation by Wayne Teasdale

One cogent scene in this powerful and inspiring film [Baraka] shows people in Tokyo amid the hustle and bustle of going to work, to school, and home. But in the middle of all this frantic coming and going walks an extraordinary monk completely absorbed in the Now of his extremely slow meditation walk. He rings a bell and holds a begging bowl. He never looks left or right, but concentrates on meditation through his simple act of walking with awareness. This monk, in his own way, is reclaiming the precious spiritual reality of time. He is restoring its original quality, its timeless nature. We must do the same in our spiritual lives by giving time its proper place as the container and guardian of our mystical journey.

— Wayne Teasdale, A Monk in the World.

Quotation by Philip Toshio Sudo

There is a saying in zen, "Do not walk and eat at the same time." The same could be said for eating and working at the same time.

— Philip Toshio Sudo, Zen 24/7.

Quotation by Thich Nhat Hanh

Walking mindfully on the earth, a grassy path,
my feet make the promise
to embrace the early morning
and touch the peace of the present moment.

— Thich Nhat Hanh, Call Me by My True Names.

Quotation by Chet Raymo

A weed plucked at the side of the path [I walked daily] might have found its way to the New World in a seventeenth-century sailing ship. Scratches on a rocky ledge evoke colossal mountain-building events on the other side of the world millions of years ago that modified the planet's climate and caused glaciers to creep across New England. The oxygen atoms I suck into my lungs were forged in stars that lived and died long before the Earth was born.

Having learned to know and love my path in all of its local abundance, the light-years and the eons no longer seem quite so forbidding, tropical rain forests and droughty deserts seem not so far away. A minute lived attentively can contain a millennium; an adequate step can span the planet.

— Chet Raymo, The Path.

Quotation by Mary Oliver

— Mary Oliver, Long Life.

Quotation by Zora Neale Hurston

Faith hasn't got no eyes, but she long — legged.

— Zora Neale Hurston, Frederic Brussat's Twitter Collection.

Quotation by Martin Buber

One should, and one must, truly live with all, but one should live with all in holiness, one should hallow all that one does in one's natural life. One eats in holiness, tastes the taste of food in holiness, and table becomes an altar. One works in holiness; and he raises up the sparks that hide themselves in all tools. One walks in holiness across the fields, and the soft songs of all herbs which they voice to God, enter into the song of our soul. One drinks in holiness to each other with one's companions, and it is as if they read together in the Torah. One dances the roundelay in holiness, and a brightness shines over the gathering. A husband is united with his wife in holiness and the shekinah rests over them.

— Martin Buber, Christian Mysticism by William McNamara.

Quotation by John Heagle

Hope has feet. And we are still walking.

— John Heagle, Frederic Brussat's Twitter Collection.

Quotation by John Fox

In Minneapolis, a poem by John Ashbery is inscribed on the girders on both sides of a pedestrian walkway that stretches across a busy highway, so that bridge walkers are able to read the poem coming and going.

— John Fox, Finding What You Didn't Lose.

Quotation by Tukaram

He who utters the name of God while walking gets the merit of a sacrifice at every step.
His body becomes a place of pilgrimage.
He who repeats God's Name while working always finds perfect peace.
He who utters the Name of God while eating gets the merit of a fast even though he has taken his meals.
Even if one were to give in charity the whole earth encircled by the seas it would not equal the merit of repeating the Name.
By the power of the Name one will know what cannot be known,
One will see what cannot be seen,
One will speak what cannot be spoken,
One will meet what cannot be met.
Tuka says,
Incalculable is the gain that comes from repeating the Name of God.

— Tukaram , Teachings of the Hindu Mystics by Andrew Harvey, editor.

Quotation by Helen M. Luke

Every individual still needs to find his own "rites," so that he may clearly emerge from one level and enter another. A cup of coffee, listening to music, a brief walk, or, best of all, a few minutes of complete relaxation, are some of the ways we may find. The important thing is to do them consciously; even a few seconds of objective awareness that we are passing from one kind of activity to another is often enough.

— Helen M. Luke, The Way of Woman.

Quotation by Nguyen Anh-Huong

Let us walk with our loved ones. Let us walk for those who are in prisons, for those who are in wheelchairs or on crutches, for those who cannot take gentle, peaceful steps because of the tremendous amount of suffering in their hearts. Let us hold their hands as we walk with them and for them.

— Nguyen Anh-Huong, Walking Meditation by Nguyen Anh-Huong, Thich Nhat Hanh.

Quotation by Irwin Kula

There are so many blessings for the things we normally take for granted, so that they, too, become a source of joy. There are blessings for waking up in the morning, standing up straight and for walking. There's one for seeing a crowd of people — "Oh, my God, look at how many stories there are!" Awe, wonder, and surprise are all deeply pleasurable.

— Irwin Kula, Yearnings.

Quotation by Nguyen Anh-Huong

During outdoor walking practice, in order to connect more deeply with all of the healing elements within and around you, you may want to stop walking from time to time and simply breathe. The more you make yourself available to these elements, the more you are refreshed and healed. You may enjoy this exercise. "Breathing in, good morning birds"; "Breathing out, thank you for your songs," or "Breathing in, hello blue sky"; "Breathing out, thank you, dear blue sky, for being there for me." When you can make yourself more present in this way, the birds and the blue sky are yours to enjoy and hold. If you continue to breathe consciously and smile to the sky, its space and beauty begin to penetrate your whole being, nourishing you and waking within you the seeds of joy, love, and freedom. And during this time, you will refrain from watering the seeds of sorrow, anger, and despair.

— Nguyen Anh-Huong, Walking Meditation by Nguyen Anh-Huong, Thich Nhat Hanh.

Quotation by Nguyen Anh-Huong

— Nguyen Anh-Huong, Walking Meditation by Nguyen Anh-Huong, Thich Nhat Hanh.

Quotation by Thich Nhat Hanh

Walk leisurely, peacefully.
Your feet touch the Earth deeply.
Don't let your thoughts carry you away,
come back to the path every moment.
The path is your dear friend.
She will transmit to you
her solidity,
and her peace.

— Thich Nhat Hanh, Walking Meditation by Nguyen Anh-Huong, Thich Nhat Hanh.

Quotation by Abraham Joshua Heschel

For many of us the march from Selma to Montgomery was both protest and prayer. Legs are not lips and waiting is not kneeling. And yet our legs uttered songs. Even without words, our march was worship. I felt my legs praying.

— Abraham Joshua Heschel, Moral Granduer and Spiritual Audacity by Susannah Heschel.

Quotation by Joan Borysenko

Saint John of the Cross taught that interior silence is the place where Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds. Make time during the day to be alone — not to read or watch TV — but to be quiet. Garden, sit outside, walk mindfully, go into nature, meditate, be with music. Most of us will give our time and energy away to others, leaving little for ourselves. The disbalance that occurs when you squeeze yourself out of your own life creates new stress that prevents the healing of old pain. Save time to let silence be a partner in your healing.

— Joan Borysenko, Fire in the Soul.

Quotation by Sylvia Boorstein

Take a walk, outdoors or in, whatever seems best, on a route that goes somewhere but that isn't directed. In other words, don't decide where the turnaround point will be before you start out. That way, the walk can be an unfolding surprise. See everything with fresh eyes.

— Sylvia Boorstein, Don't Just Do Something, Sit There.

Quotation by Bruce G. Epperly, Lewis D. Solomon

Whenever darkness may threaten to overcome us, the Holy One is by our side. In God's light, we can face our fear and embark on future adventures. In God's love, we find healing and support the healing of others. Let us raise the light and heal the world. We are walking in the light of God.

— Bruce G. Epperly, Lewis D. Solomon, Walking in the Light.

Quotation by Robert Levine

Rabbi Bernie King tells the story of Rabbi Shlomo Carlbach speaking to members of Manhattan's Diamond Dealers Club. He was challenged by one of the attendees as to why he wasted so much time with lowlifes and crazies.

"I'll let you in on a little secret, my friends," Reb Shlomo responded softly. "I'm also an expert on diamonds. I walk the streets every day, and all I see are the most precious diamonds walking past me. Some of them you have to pick up from the gutter and polish a bit. But once you do, oh how they shine! So you see, the most important thing you have to know in life is that everyone, everyone, is a diamond in the rough."

— Robert Levine, There Is No Messiah and You're It.

Quotation by Joyce Rupp

Flowers last
a long, long time
if they have
what they need.

Why is it
that I neglect
myself?

I need to feed
on beauty,
walk more often
under starlight,
listen to the wind,
and rest my weariness.

Then my flowers
will last
a long, long time.

— Joyce Rupp, Rest Your Dreams On A Little Twig.

Quotation by Tung-shan

If you look for the truth outside yourself,
it gets farther and farther away.
Today, walking alone,
I meet him everywhere I step.
He is the same as me, yet I am not him.
Only if you understand it in this way
will you merge with the way things are.

Quotation by Russian Proverb

To walk toward spring is to become the spring.

— Russian Proverb , The Haunt of Grace by Ted Loder.

Quotation by William McNamara

If life drags on, the will gets run down. It will take a glorious holiday, or something like it, to remind us of wider meanings. Then suddenly we are enjoying everything more: eating, reading, walking, listening to music. The meaning sharpens the appetite for life — that is, the will to live. And the deeper my sense of the meanfulingness of the world, the fiercer and more persistent my will. Increased effort of will leads in turn to increased sense of meaning.

— William McNamara, Christian Mysticism.

Quotation by Eknath Easwaran

Rama, Gandhi's mantram, is a formula for abiding joy. Gandhi used to walk for miles every day repeating it to himself until the rhythm of the mantram and his footsteps began to stabilize the rhythm of his breathing, which is closely connected with the rhythm of the mind. When fear or anger threatened him, clinging to Rama used the power of these emotions to drive this formula for joy deep into Gandhi's mind.

Gandhi said: "The mantram becomes one's staff of life and carries one through every ordeal."

Quotation by Nguyen Anh-Huong

When you do walking meditation in a busy city, you can walk in the same way you walk in nature. Feel free to coordinate your breathing with your steps to set a comfortable pace. There are many more sounds and sights, but through mindful breathing and walking you can create a refuge for yourself, a little island of peace amid the noise and confusion.

— Nguyen Anh-Huong, Walking Meditation by Nguyen Anh-Huong, Thich Nhat Hanh.

Quotation by Jacques Lusseyran

Joy clarifies everything.

How many times have I found myself quite simply walking along. And suddenly I receive one of these gusts of contentment, of, so to say, "joy" or "well-being," which is a marvelous feeling because one has no idea where it comes from.

— Jacques Lusseyran, Against the Pollution of the I.

Quotation by Kosuke Koyama

Love has its speed. . . . It is an inner speed . . . a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. . . . It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, whether we are currently hit by storm or not, at three miles an hour. It is the speed we walk and therefore it is the speed the love of God walks.

— Kosuke Koyama, When in Doubt, Sing by Jane Redmont.

Quotation by Ezra Bayda

Walking Mediation Gatha

When I walk, the mind will wander.
With each sound the mind returns.
With each breath the heart is open.
With each step I touch this earth.

— Ezra Bayda, Zen Heart.

Quotation by Ardath Rodale

When I return from any walk, I'm filled with gratitude for the privilege of being alive in this beautiful world. I feel ready to face the day in the larger community as I carry with me and impart to others some of the energy and peace I find on that walk.

— Ardath Rodale, Everyday Miracles.

Quotation by Joseph Rael

What I recommend for people who truly seek insights is to talk a walk. Just walk with strong intent for twenty miles, and go home. Then watch. The great insights will start coming; it has to do with walking. Dancing does the same thing.

— Joseph Rael, House of Shattering Light.

Quotation by John Muir

I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, I was really going in.

— John Muir, Surprises Around the Bend by Richard A. Hasler.

Quotation by BettyClare Moffatt

Walking is safe sex for me. You see, you take your deep, sighing breaths and your hair tosses in the wind and you lift your chin a little to gulp in more fresh air, and you close your eyes a little against the warmth of the emerging sun, and your feet and your legs pump in unison and your thighs rub against each other in a rhythm, and you perspire a lot, and your T-shirt and shorts fill with moisture until you could wring them out by the time you've done a mile or so, and you're panting during the second mile, and your joints are growing looser and warmer, and your mind is floating and swaying with the tops of the trees, and everything is, for a few blessed moments, right. Walking as orgasm.

— BettyClare Moffatt, Spiritual Literacy by Frederic Brussat, Mary Ann Brussat.

Spiritual Quotation

Quotation by Barbara Brown Taylor

Not everyone is able to walk, but most people can, which makes walking one of the most easily available spiritual practices of all. All it takes is the decision to walk with some awareness, both of who you are and what you are doing. Where you are going is not important.

— Barbara Brown Taylor, An Altar in the World.

Quotation by Wallace Stevens

Perhaps truth depends upon a walk around the lake.

— Wallace Stevens, Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction.

Quotation by Sam Keen

Walking is an essential discipline of thought and spirit. My soul is a traveler afoot in this world. Like Aristotle (whose school was called Peripatetic, after the covered walkway along which he strolled while teaching), I cannot think clearly if I remain too long sedentary.

— Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God.

Quotation by Julia Cameron

Walking and talking humanize my life, draw it to an ancient and comforting scale. We live as we move, a step at a time, and there is something in gentle walking that reminds me of how I must live if I am to savor this life that I have been given.

— Julia Cameron, Walking in This World.

Quotation by Andrew Harvey

So many people don't know how to inspire themselves. Use everything that moves you: music, walking by water, flowers, photographs of the enlightened ones. Inspiration helps so deeply in overcoming laziness, summons what the Sufis call the fragrance of the Beloved in everything.

— Andrew Harvey, Dialogues with a Modern Mystic by Andrew Harvey, Mark Matousek.

Quotation by Julia Cameron

As we stretch our legs, we stretch our minds and souls. St. Augustine, himself a great walker, remarked, "Solvitur ambuando; it is solved by walking."

— Julia Cameron, Walking in This World.

Quotation by Jan Phillips

Jesus walked through the desert for forty days to prepare for his preaching. Buddha walked for years from cave to cave, village to village, before he reached enlightenment under the bodhi tree. Mother Teresa walked through the streets of Calcutta looking for people who needed her help. Mahatma Gandhi walked through the villages in India, teaching the ways of nonviolence.

— Jan Phillips, Divining the Body.

Quotation by Stephen Levine

Walking, much like singing, steadies the mind. When we place one foot in front of the other, we can feel the body lean and sway as we move forward. The first steps may be slow, but gradually we find our gait. Though we may require effort to break our inertia, our willingness to move is soon requited. At first, we notice the mind doing the walking. Then the body soon takes over, and with that, our thoughts are free to flow.

— Stephen Levine, Unattended Sorrow.

Quotation by Mary Pipher

For every hour Charles Dickens wrote, he walked an hour.

— Mary Pipher, Letters to A Young Therapist.

Quotation by Jose Hobday

In spring and summer I frequently pray while walking in cemeteries. I got in the habit of doing that in Arizona, where it is dry and there isn't much grass, except in the cemeteries which are watered and maintained. As a result I learned to pray with the dead. That's a great way of praying — in the presence of the dead. The cemetery I walked in was green and grassy. It was all mine. Rarely did anybody invade my meditation place.

— Jose Hobday, Stories of Awe and Abundance.

Quotation by Julia Cameron

As we stretch our legs, we stretch our minds and souls. St. Augustine, himself a great walker, remarked, "Solvitur ambuando; it is solved by walking."

— Julia Cameron, Walking in This World.
