Walking on Airwaves
 When ABC National Radio of Australia interviewed Carolyn Scott Kortge for a feature program on walking meditation that aired in 2007 and 2008, Carolyn explained how racewalking competition led her to a form of meditation that provided inspiration for The Spirited Walker.
“When I was becoming an athlete, I learned to think the way that athletes have to think. You have to control your breath, you have to become aware of having enough fuel to compete, you have to control your self-talk. In that process I realized that these tools of athletics were the same tools that I've used in meditation forms that I've studied other places in my life. And I saw that there was this overlay I hadn't understood between athletics and meditation. Basically they were the same tools, and we were going for the same end, which was to be totally present in this moment, doing only this, now.”

Path with Heart Week

After a few days of trail walking and hiking on a vacation trip, I began joking with my companion about the lure of the high road. Every trail seemed to bring us to decision points--intersections where we could choose to take the uphill path and go on to higher elevations, or veer toward the valley to walk beside the stream.
