Unplug? Plug In.
I have a great park nearby my house. It has a 4-mile trail around the perimeter and a number of trails that crisscross the inside. There are lots of steep hills, so you can get a good workout while you commune with nature.
I was walking on my favorite interior trail recently, my Mozart playlist playing softly through my earbuds, and thinking about balance. Walking through Queeny Park is one of the ways I find balance in my hectic life.
I got to a point in the trail where I was totally alone, except for a small herd of deer grazing along the path. These deer were totally unafraid, they looked at me with curiosity not fear. Clearly humans were commonplace, not a threat.
I went to the park with the idea of unplugging. Letting go of everything that crowds my mind during the week, letting go of all the things that whir through my head. Finding quiet. Finding solitude.
At that moment along the trail, I realized is that I wasn’t unplugging. I was plugging in. I made a connection to something outside of myself. I felt the earth beneath me, I felt the energy that flows through the universe, the soul of the world. The deer and I shared that energy.
I stopped. I tuned into that energy. I simply existed in that moment. It was momentous, that recognition of connection. I felt calmed, peaceful, reinvigorated. I was truly plugged in.
That day changed my outlook. I feel the connection still, whenever I breathe with intention, whenever I sit in stillness. Awareness of the universe. That trail has become one of my happy places. In the woods where the deer stand peacefully nearby.
I wish that for you.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something
to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to
let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get
the issue resolved soon. Many thanks
I do not even know how I stopped up here, but I assumed this submit
was great. I don’t recognise who you’re however
definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger if you happen to are not already.
Cheers!
many thanks a great deal this excellent website is usually official along with everyday
I visited several web sites however the audio quality for audio songs existing
at this website is actually fabulous.
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
However think of if you added some great images or video clips to
give your posts more, “pop”! Your content
is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could certainly be one of
the best in its niche. Terrific blog!
I like it whenever people get together and share opinions.
Great website, stick with it!
I visit each day a few web pages and websites to read content,
however this web site presents quality based posts.
Appreciate the recommendation. Let me try it out.
