Musing

The hardest thing about walking is entertaining myself while I do it. Sometimes I find myself fixating on something and that is usually a sign that I am annoyed, but still I am thinking.

Today I saw a sign that said I (Heart) being a cougar and it occurred to me that there are people who feel the need to tout who they are to the world and that these are often people who spend more time talking about something than doing or being it.

Which made me think about how to go about being something.

You can buy a sign for your car. You can show up at places like church, or at meetings and donate money, or you can go out and actively engage by building houses for humanity, or walking people down hospital corridors, or working in our schools, or a million other activities.

All of these things have value if they make you feel better about yourself, or help others have a better life.

What you cannot do, in my humble opinion, is buy your way to heaven, or God, or any other spiritual place. I believe spirit is accessible to everyone, but from the inside out. Not the other way around.

And that, folks, is what I thought about today as I walked in this bone chilling weather to make myself feel better.
