So.... yesterday started later than usual and while I waited for friends to join, I found time to sit and enjoy the view of Broad Haven beach. The one pictured above is a small cove looking out past cliffs into St Bride's Bay. This was at the end of a long, companiable 12 or so miles with Andy, Eeva and their dog Mollie.
It has been good to walk alone and in silence, and a pleasure, too, to walk in good company. People ask me along the way about where I have come from and where I am going to be in the days to come. It has been embarrassing to be unable to bring this into my mind. I don't think this is because of a defect in my memory, but more to do with the journey I am on. The need to be in the present moment with each step I take. I have been asked also about my moods.... and apart from one day when I didn't eat well enough for the miles I was walking, I have not even noticed or given my state of mind names like happy or sad. Quite a revelation to me.....
