Here i am at 5200 feet, presently in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My plane ride was exquisite. I used to be very nervous about flying, but I have left that old me behind. I have this little thing I do before I get on the plane, I kiss my palm and then place it on the side of the plane as I enter. Pretty superstitious for a minister, no? Hey, some habits are just worth keeping. When I fly, I think of the Wright Brothers. I can see them running and whooping in some field of grass. I bless them and thank them for following their dream. I wonder what they would think about this big jumbo jet I'm in today.
I practiced the Presence, breathing on take off and landing, feeling one with the energy of this massive machine. How powerful! The lady next to me said she was nervous on take off. Then right out of my mouth, came---"that's just race consciousness you're feeling, that's not the truth. We're fine." Then, I told her my Wright Bros. story...She smiled and closed her eyes.
I was greeted by my blue-eyed little granddaughter. What a jewel!
I took my first run here in Albuquerque, as I continue my training for my marathon on Sunday. Wow! I had to take quite a breath. All of a sudden, I felt like I had inhaled a helium balloon. I think I was still telling myself that the transition from California to the high desert would somehow hold me back. No! Infinite Intelligence knows just how to direct everything within my lungs, heart and cells to adjust. It is called emergent evolution. "I honor the divinity that resides within me!" That's all I got! Breathe!
