Walking . Thinking . Learning

You are browsing the archives of depression.

As the season progresses into late fall, it is amazing to watch the colors, textures and forms of nature change everyday. It reminds me that nothing is ever static or frozen and that I must shift and move with nature and never get stuck or frozen.
I have also been thinking allot about mind control. I [...]

Today as I took my 5 mile walk I had to clear allot of fallen branches along the path as we have had a lot of heavy winds in the last couple of days. It reminded me that this journal hopefully performs the same purpose in some way. I hope that in relating my own experiences [...]

 
My Depression preceded the Worldwide Economic Crisis of 2008 by a few months and for that I am grateful. I don’t think I could have taken the entire planet writhing in pain at the same time that I was. It would have made “my world” even darker.
It is interesting to compare my own crisis with [...]

Recently one of my blog members, Paul/Pacmac stated:
I have come to believe that just thinking or focusing on what is good or beautiful is no different than focusing on what is bad or ugly.
That is fine, but how is one to keep oneself out of depression with that frame of mind? If we follow that line [...]

There is a section on my daily walk that I call my “Bowl of Abundance”. Before I get to this particular spot there is a beautiful path that is covered on both sides with tall trees that make for something of a dark tunnel. As I approach this spot, the light from this open space floods [...]

Sometimes when I read Deepak Chopra, I am reminded of the old saying: vanity, vanity, all is vanity. If everything around us is simply perception, why then do we even bother doing anything, why did he bother to write the book. If there is nothing that exists outside of us, then why go on?

This wonderful Louise Hay video [called Metaphysical Healing is available on Google Video] is about an hour and a half.  If you are depressed, stressed, overworked, or if you are feeling a little lost, you just might find something to hold onto here. You can also get her book “You Can Heal Your Life”
Enjoy.

I have always wanted to write a real blog, you know one that was truly personal and not a business blog like my others about travel, restaurant reviews and websites. This is what this blog is all about; my random thoughts that come to me on my long daily walks that are doing so [...]
