This is what happens when I truly feel the earth beneath my feet!

Picked up the Bike for $25.00 and the hammock for $35.00 - that's all there is to it. It's that simple - No need for any thing else - it's all in you! No God, No Faith, No books, No concepts - Nothing required except the will to leave it all behind and just be receptive to what actually exists. Empower yourself and disconnect from all other sources that have cost and conditions attached. Connect more with the meaning of words without saying them - is one of many ways that helps us connect with what it real - I generally seek freedom from the trees in which I hang, but today I felt the grass like I have never before:

I don't want anything - I am sick of wanting - No goals, No dreams - I am just content that I am no longer itching! A lesson I will not forget - how pleasant it is just to be, without a need for anything whilst yet having obtained nothing!

So - go find some grass and a tree - if you can't feel anything - then get yourself a good dose of suffering, and then try again - until finally you see, just how great it is - to feel nothing. ;)

:) works a treat. Nice to meet you. Once you work out how to lay and sit - you'll be hooked for life. I have another hammock which I often take on camps - I've never slept in a tent since. Highly recommended - Avoid the Netted hammocks that have people pictured in the shape of a banana. The one I use there wraps up no bigger than a 750ml bottle and weighs about the same - I often do little videos on my trips - your welcome to join me for a cuppa:

Peace.

Thanks for the link. I subscribed to your channel. It was really heartbreaking to hear. I did not have the courage to post a video on youtube but I really should. :) I think my story might help others to. You are such an inspiration. I loved your bit on the faithsellers and totally agree with you. Thanks for sharing btw :) You can add me as a friend if you like.

Oh itching is gone:)) Ponder it is so right, I always say we do not believe in mom nature, we better start :) nothing heals better than being with trees, grasses, listen the singing birds.......
Today I went to my garden to fill up the bird bath. I stopped to see the flower and then came dad Cardinal and the baby. They checked every tomato cage, (25) I was so close and could see the beauty of the bird. When you stand quiety or just sit and listen and observe a lot happens.....healing happens.

I couldn't agree more Dahlia. the healing of sitting in the woods quietly listening and watching. The longer you sit the more you will see as the more timid creatures that live around the woods will soon start to come back out. most of them know that you are coming long before you get there and they hide.

Is that wonderful or what, John I can be quiet and listen somehow blend into garden. The critters observe me too, as soon as I start to fill up their bath , I can see them sitting on the fence ready to dip into:))

John you right so far we change the water like 4 , 5 times a day. I even moved it to a place close to hose. Now it is easy to fill up. My favorite is watching American finches they look like artificial thingy when they drink so fast and in the same rythm;)Robins are crazy birds they are not scared of anything, they just sit there with wings on the sides...it is funny to watch them. Cardinals are shy,,, they come when there is nobody in garden, today I was lucky to stand like a tree maybe 4 yards from them:)
I would think they like me, that's right. I have no problem with nature or animals but people:) yes... eh
We hacking Ponder's thread, John you think he would be upset?
I think not........

Glad you like it - it comes from a perspective far removed from a life of happiness. Having said that though, I'm glad you enjoy it. I remember well, setting up to take this shot and share it for the peace it brings.

Be well.

Being in contact with nature is one of the best ways to get to know ourselves and stay happy. I totally recommend
