Hi Ann. Thanks for all the three videos. I saw them all. Of course I know the joy of movement! What did you think? Come on, I have been walking on my hands half of my life, as a kid and also as an adult, I still do it! But IMHO these are two topics, getting vairagya through meditation, loving the bliss of meditation, and enjoying movement, like dancing for example, or any type of creative expression btw..
I really like elephants, I was riding on one when I was in a wild life park in India, seeing tigers in the free wild life. I was lucky, we saw 11 tigers on one day, four of them from the elephant. One time I was walking in a procession at the Kumbha Mela, and suddenly had the feeling of a presence walking next to me. I looked and it was an elephant. He walked alone, and so conscious in the whole crowd, that you would never have the fear he would run you over. They are so controlled and gently! It's not an either or. Great saints /meditators like Ramana Maharshi loved animals and had them all around them. Go to the Ramana Ashram in Tiruvanamallai, and you will see Samadhi shrines of his pet animals, a cow, a dog, a peacock. Anyway, the place is full of peacocks. But thanks for sharing, Ann. I never get any feeling of ill will or aggressiveness from you, besides the fact, that we have different orientations and opinions, and I appreciate that. I'm sure, if we met outside of FFL, we just could be friends. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: For I ran a tea house: Now this is an example of the joy and exuberance of activity.
