As summer comes to conclusion and fall begins to crisp up the air, it’s both hot and cold at the same time. Walking, we wear layers so with clouds and wind one moment and sunbreaks the next, we shift. Sometimes we need to keep one arm covered in the shade but expose the one in the sun.
This approach enables us to appreciate the beauty of nature, care for our body, and “reconcile the irreconcilable” as our Sufi meditation teacher Pir Vilayat Kahn proposes. Learning to hold a unitive perspective, witnessing internal division, and choosing to align with the Totality is a practice. Practice makes perfect in this perfectly imperfect world.
