30km walkathon

Today I walked 30km, with an autoimmune disease and a sore back. I never could have done this without the support of many, but mostly the belief in myself, and MY HUSBAND who decided at the last minute to walk with me in support. I saw wildflowers, rich peoples homes, hundreds of frogs in the swamp making love, herons circling over me in the last 6km convincing me to keep going when every step brought a world of pain. I listened to the sound of footsteps, birds and my husband’s voice for the first 15km and then with my headphones on shuffle I felt my life pass by through music pushing me to take another and another step. This has been a difficult last year, last month, last weeks for me, but I did not give up in the face of so many challenges. To everyone who supported me, loved me, had faith in me through this time, I thank you. Life should feel ALIVE, even when it tortures us and we want to give up. Life is meant to challenge and teach us the lessons of the old, and we should strive everyday to overcome the baggage and trauma of our ancestors. Love to those who push themselves to find this magic but painful place, where we suffer but feel most alive. Here we will find our greatest lessons.  love to you all, time to rest…
