kayaking
Gotta love how we are all talking about the outdoors and the things we are doing out there. Its awesome! This weekend, we got our kayaks out for a spin on Hasse lake--yes, its smelly, but the wildlife is amazing! We disturbed a flock of pelicans, got a list of birds to try and find in the bird book, the dog got dive bombed by a small gull-like bird...was great! And then getting drenched at the end as a wave breaks over my boat...but I would take all of this any day over being inside. I love kayaking--it really helps me feel the 6 harmonies--the physical side anyways. I can feel how much more powerful my stroke is when my shoulders and hips move together, that I push with my legs as I pull with my arms. I love the feel of the water, the quiet, the connection with the world around me, even the dog swimming beside me. He too would go kayaking anywhere, any place, any time. So I guess I do feel the rest of the harmonies as my spirit, intent and chi are also in harmony:)
