I got that idea of concentrating on the senses one by one, and then combining them, from the book I've just finished reading - 'Coming To Our Senses' by Jon Kabat-Zinn.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-42232358105915950482010-04-05T13:46:21.422+01:002010-04-05T13:46:21.422+01:00SW

I walk very similar routes near to where we live time after time but the experience is never the same. <br />An interesting idea to concentrate on one sense at a time then combine them. Thanks for the inspiration...TrampTramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367405984066895755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-72118928653179144622010-04-05T11:24:59.126+01:002010-04-05T11:24:59.126+01:00Thanks, Alistair!

That poem is so simple and so beautiful and, as you say, sums it all up more than any verbose explicatory books on Zen could ever do!The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-49534527797629789282010-04-05T11:18:12.535+01:002010-04-05T11:18:12.535+01:00I really do enjoy reading your blog.

Sums up mindfulness for me:<br /><br />When all thoughts<br />Are exhausted<br />I slip into the woods<br />And gather<br />A pile of shepherd's purse.<br /><br />Like the little stream<br />Making its way<br />Through the mossy crevices<br />I, too, quietly<br />Turn clear and transparent.Alistairhttp://stravaiger.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
