Waltzing In The Forest (20 days)


Today's walk did me much good. Feeling really good again. There's something mystical about the therapeutic nature of the forest - it makes me feel vibrant and alive. I think that its something to do with the rich fertility of the forest floor - the foundation of life. I would like to observe the forest through an extended period of time, I think it has so much to teach me as I feel a strong spiritual connection walking through it. Perhaps there's the substance of time whispering through the ancient trees that compounds its authority. Perhaps its the intoxicating smell of fertility that breathes through its dark fertile humus. Maybe the constant balance of life, death and constant renewal, brings alignment to my senses and being. I felt connected to the life and energy of the forest on my walk today. It was a continuous feast to my eyes that gave me a child's joy, unparalleled. I would like to train my mind to be able to recreate this joy and excitement every day of my life, to feel constant grace and thankfulness. Thats how I see this feast, an opening up of life's possibilities, which post-feast, will have provided me with the vision to conceive inspiration and joy as a constant factor in my life. Children are an inspiration to me, they never cease to invent hope and potentiality. So here is to regressing some 92x120 thought days. That would make me minus 8 and a bit!

Today I had

1l Endive, Carrot, Romaine, Chinese Cabbage Juice*
1l Pineapple, Lettuce, Brussel Sprout Juice*
500ml Grapefruit Juice with Spirulina
500ml Fresh Mint Tea
*A bit off with my juice choices today, they tasted..nutritious!
Thats it so far.

Congratulations on 20 days feasting! Yes, there is so much time to think about life post feast, why we are doing this, what exactly is the scope of the investment. I'm planning and obsessions revolve mostly around food, but I am also taking on some other things that have laid stagnant these last couple years. Unclog, and get things moving. Playfully, of course, otherwise, why are we here but to play?

isn't this absolutely fantastic, this play together in the field of consciousness....in forests or on the dance floor, while sipping juices or eating greens, lying in bed or skipping through streets......
thanks for the waltz poppy.....
