We Walked Away, We can Always WALK Back

November's scheduled Fear-No-More World WALK has me travelling to Montreal, Canada, to spend the weekend "walking" with horses, with people interested in relating to horses from the point of view of horses rather than the traditional view-points of humans.


Horses, camels and other animals have walked alongside humans for millennia. In many cases they have been dragged, forced, beaten and whipped to walk with us. But all of our insensitivity was not necessary. They would have walked happily with us if we had approached them with love, respect and care. Even while enduring the hardships we have put them through they have, in general, always walked in the mode of Fear-No-More, surrendered to the moment, even though those moments were often very harsh. Yet as soon as we are willing they can and will guide us back to fearing-no-more, with grace, beauty and forgiveness. In a sense they have always been waiting for us to notice who they really are, how they are, and to do likewise...

The specific monthly Fear-No-More World WALKS we have been doing for almost a year now have served significantly in carrying forward some further degree of Adi Da's "Vision of Fear-No-More" into our respective lives. I know these walks have served me considerably. Getting out and leaving everything behind for a period and simply walking with happy, bodily, intent has been instructive for me in letting go of the subjectivity of who I think I am... restoring me each time to a clearer sense of being breathed, lived and released beyond my knowledge of anything at all....

The ongoing process of the WALKS has also raised awareness and support for Fear-No-More Zoo itself to new levels. There is still a lot more support needed but we are doing a little better, which is great. Please get involved in supporting this unique process between humans and non-humans, and invite your friends to check out "Fear-No-More" also.

I trust those of you who have been crazy enough to participate in these WALKS have also benefited in whatever ways are true of you.

I will continue living and combining my life with the Fear-No-More World WALKS -- ongoing. I will probably not be engaging the WALKS on the ritual monthly basis we've been following till now. For me, at least, change is necessary. Everything has it's moment and reasons. Everything shifts and changes. To keep things growing what becomes familiar has to be bounced and turned out so that what's next can come through and be embraced...

I will be doing these WALKS randomly from now on, any time I'm moved and often... and I will also be arranging for the undertaking of a longer annual WALK to commemorate, and further, the advancement of the "Vision of Fear-No-More". Details of the second annual WALK will be forthcoming, and I hope many of you will participate, wherever you reside.

Information on the origins of these WALKS can be found by perusing earlier posts in this blogsite.

Keep WALKING,
Stuart
