Reflection of my Nature Walk.
An invitation was sent out to our Philosophy Class by our tutor /philosopher Roland.
I extended the invitation to my husband Dennis and my daughter Shannon (the one of the rock) .
We did not know anyone in the group, we were greeted warmly by Liz, Jim and Mark.
We were briefed about the 3 promises.
- Discover and live by the laws governing the creation.
- Remember the creator (YOUR SELF) – includes helping others – Fellow travellers of life being the Earth, people,
Plants and animals.
- Lead a useful life and return home to the Creator
That was just the beginning.
We went for a “walk with nature” and we were left to take in the beauty of the mountains, the rock, the beauty of the Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve.
We each took a spot on a specific rock or place of beauty to stop and reflect and mediate for 20 minutes or more depending on yourself.
The supreme beauty was breath-taking and powerful.
You felt the presence of the beauty all around – the stillness of nature and creation dating back millions of years.
After your mediation / stillness you then met with your fellow likeminded people and we were spoilt with an eat and greet food and drinks and snacks for a chat and then you could walk back through nature and cliffs back to the entrance
The time spent on this walk and with this group was one the best experiences I have ever had – it was a privilege to meet and share quality time with genuine human beings.
My husband and daughter agreed that it was an “awe” inspiring, and enlightening, soulful day.
