Hiking Journal

As I was hiking down the mountain—the air gentle, the sun bright—I was already in a state of contemplation. I was tuning into my heart, radiating a sphere of awareness around me that allowed me to perceive my surroundings in a more sensitive and connected way than ever before.

As the wind blew, caressing my face, hair, and body, it felt like it was communicating with me. Suddenly, an insight began to flow through my consciousness and into my thoughts. As the wind kept blowing gently, I heard the word FAITH. Contemplative thoughts streamed from emptiness into manifestation, and I said to myself, "This is the great mystery's wisdom presenting itself to me."

This is the message I received:

We need faith to survive. Faith isn't something physical that we can see, like an apple or an orange. Faith is like the wind—we can't see it, but we can feel and perceive it.

Faith is the belief embedded within that physical apple. It's embedded in the tangible taste of the thirst-quenching orange we can savor. Faith is like the water hydrating our spiritual thirst.

Faith moves through us without us noticing it, or even being aware of its movement, unless we truly slow our thought process, empty our minds, and sink into our heart's connection. Faith resides right under our noses, in plain sight, yet we often

choose not to feel it or perceive it as real or present. We choose to ignore it.

When we finally ask ourselves to have faith, it often feels too late. Something happens, and we label the situation as "bad luck," giving our power away.
