I’m grateful for this experience. On the physical level, the majestic Grand Canyon is a visual paradise. On the emotional/psychological, my recent losses are too recent and a lot of feeling pass through me as momentarily visitors and promised me more of it including my own. And what is more important, spiritually, this is a leap of faith, being present without grasping or grabbing anything that babyseat me, without escaping shame, embarrassment, sadness, hopelessness, and any other feeling coming to me at the present time. I’m going to give you a piece of my experience today. I went to the only supermarket in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. When paying for my stuff, none of my credit cards work and all of them were denied. Guess what Hugo did? I felt ashamed, not fully known to me, and walk out of the store without my stuff accepting the fate out of “shameful” feelings. I walked to my car, and sat in it for a moment and explore my feelings. I realized that I escape those feeling very quickly out of the supermarket. Oh, silly little Hugo, you are a grown up now! You can sit with those feeling longer than two second and run out of the supermarket! I gave myself the chance to return and learn that the credit card reader was defective and was able to pay for my stuff. The spiritual/psychological thing that I once again learned, is that I should seat with my negative feeling longer that two seconds, there is something to learn out of them, if I wish to learn/live/experience/transcend. There are better choices than escaping present moment reality. (at Grand Canyon National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTomVfNjHp/?utm_medium=tumblr
