Druid Meditation Day 1

Find a quiet, peaceful place to sit or lie down where you will not be disturbed. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs with air. Hold the breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this deep breathing several times, feeling your body relax with each breath.

Focus your mind on the natural world around you. Imagine the trees, the grass, the flowers, and the animals. Imagine the sun, the moon, and the stars. Imagine the wind, the rain, and the snow. Imagine the earth beneath you, supporting and nourishing you.

As you meditate, repeat the following quote to yourself:

“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.” – Gary Snyder

Questions to reflect on after your meditation:

  1. How did the natural world make you feel during your meditation?
  2. What did you notice about your body and mind during the meditation?
  3. How can you incorporate more nature into your daily life?
  4. How does the quote resonate with you and your relationship with nature?
  5. How can you use this meditation to connect more deeply with the earth?

Fairbanks Park

Decided to visit Fairbanks Park today here in Terre Haute, Indiana as I wait to hear back about a position with Great Dane. The agency Aegis Worldwide hadn’t returned my call from yesterday letting them know I was here. Started to get a little anxious and so I had gone for a little walk to see what this park was like. The Wabash River borders one side and makes me think of Huckleberry Finn. It’s amazing how wide the river is. Must be pretty deep too as to how still it looks. The park itself is pretty big from what I can see from google maps.

Regarding SCOTUS Decision On Roe V. Wade

I find it disgusting and distasteful that the justices at SCOTUS overturned the Roe v Wade ideal. It takes away from the foundation of our country and deprives justice for those who ultimately decide their own fate. As well, it takes an option away from those who could truly use it, saying to the world that life and health and a person’s own sentience don’t matter.

The religious paradigm shows it has no taste for the individual, a disgust for women, and that it has no true regard for the human condition. I begin to wonder what they would do if one of their mistresses became pregnant with their child(ren).
