Walking is a Miracle

An exquisite description of walking appeared in Yoga Journal on October 6. 
("Daily Insight" email, subject "Amazing Grace").

If you have a moment to ponder the following words, I  think you will also be convinced about the veritable nature of walking as miracle.

WHY IS WALKING A MIRACLE?

When you walk, you are

"Balancing the weight of your torso on two long supports,

while smoothly transferring this weight from one support to the other,

and all the while maintaining a constant rate of motion

and perfect balance".

Wow. Humans are amazing. Graceful. Strong. Poised. Immaculate. Let's try to keep it that way.

NOTE ON BALANCE:
Coming soon from @adurableheart are some of Roger Cole's anatomically sound tips on perfect balance and some literary persuasions that inspire me to execute those tricky one-legged balancing poses !

Donna Karan - First Lady of Stylized Integrative Health

I am amazed by individuals who create empires from the fabric of their dreams - like Donna Karan and her cashmere empire. No one can touch her. She loves TED and makes the best, most beautiful and practical perfume/clothing on the planet. She once said that "When you see a problem, there is a solution. I think that's why there are problems. It's sort of simple."

Shinichi Maruyama captures india inks and water colliding mid-air with photography. That inspires her.

Above all, Donna Karan co-founded URBAN ZEN FOUNDATION - an organization dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring change in the ares of well-being, preserving cultures and empowering children. That inspires me.

Someday I will be an influential contribution to an organization like Urban Zen Foundation.
