Imagine being fully alive, awake and engaged. Imagine utilizing body, mind and spirit in a rapturous three part harmony that sets feet tapping, hearts beating and souls soaring. Walking together from the self to the selfless, this is one pilgrimage to the heart of the infinite. [about the walk]

Kachi Kapshida

Posted on February 01, 2005 in pilgrimage.

Guri and I are leaving for India today. We want to use our hands to do crazy acts of kindness, our minds to profile everyday heroes and broadcast it over the world wide web, and our spirits to be true pilgrims of life. Many others plan to join us and while much is unknown, we bow to all you and request your blessings ... that we may truly serve in our every waking moment.

A friend, serving in the army, wrote me a touching note that ended with a beautiful Korean phrase: 'Kachi Kapshida' -- we go together.

Always together ...

Thank you (and your parents) for providing such a beautiful space for sharing on Wednesdays.... I am glad to know that it will still continue even in your and Guri's absence.

The selfish me wants to tell you guys not to go and to have you stay here so that we can have you take part in the all the events that will be coming up in our lives in the next few months, but the other part of me is proud to have friends like you that are going to take part in helping other people. Wherever your journey leads you to I hope you are safe and happy and I wish you all the best. We will think of you guys often and though we will not be together physically we will be together in spirit.

With love always,

Denise

Ah dearest Nipun! I drove past Sunnyvale yesterday and remembered our special first meeting a year or so ago and I wondered how
you and Guri were and wanted to reach out and send my love and say HEY let's get together!
But now I see you are on your way out for now so I'm sad I did not act sooner to connect but also smile with the grace of me feeling you so close
in my heart.

I was in a meeting with a foundation yesterday exploring the connections between spirituality, service and social change and I said, you've got to talk with Nipun! So know that you are with me as I am with you both as you journey to India and journey within yourselves.

Looking forward to a lifetime of serving and laughing together,
Love

Dear Nipun & Guri,

You have been an inspiration and a blessing to have touched my life. I am ever grateful, and I send good wishes and love your way as you travel your path, a journey to wholeness, mystery, and spirit. Thank you so much for being who you are, a source of light unveiled, mirroring the light of others, drawing out and magnifying the goodness of others. Thank you for stretching my boundaries of giving and service.

namaste,
;) joy

Just want to say namaste and offer a passage from Ajahn Chah on meditation.

"Conditions exist through change. You can't prevent it. Just think, could you exhale without inhaling? Would it feel good? Or could you just inhale? We want things to be permanent, but that can't be. It's impossible. I went all over looking for places to meditate. I didn't realize it was already there, in my heart. All the meditation is right there inside you. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are right there within you. I travelled all over until I was ready to drop dead from exhaustion. Only then, when I stopped, did I find what I was looking for ... inside me. We don't meditate to see heaven, but to end suffering."

Thank you for being you and your family for being your family!

Your friend,

Eric
