Becoming fit again
Walking from Begusarai towards Khangaria I realize, now finally my body is fit. No new blisters. The most places are healed no wonderfully. The feet don’t become swollen anymore. They just behave normal.
Also swopping from my old slippers to the new ones don’t make any real trouble. I still keep the old once for two more days – just in case…. But I still a bit away from walking barefoot all the time – another goal to come.
My whole body has more or less joy now, to walk with me.
I have to stay somewhere one night, because all the way is 42km. No hotel on the way. After a lot of tries here and there I sleep on a uncomfortable wooden bench in a Dhaba (Indian restaurant). Also my host is not really supportiv, its somehow uncosy to be in his presence (he hit one of his employees with a bamboo stick at the food sole, while he was resting, to wake him up). Also he could have given me a mat, which was lying around unused on a chair to give me some comfort. Anyway I could hang my mosquito net. Some hours sleep I got.
In Khangaria I have a rest day. 100km since Aloks are walked.
Searching for the best route to go, I decide to take a direct northeast route, leaving the main roads for 140km. The route will lead me through Sanbarsa, Mangwar, Murliganj, Raniganj to Araria.
I guess there will be no hotel on the route. In myself there is a calmness and confidence, that I am ready for this now. Even in Bihar during corona times. I have been always guided and protected….and because of this good feelings I can relay on it. I want also to see more of nature in Bihar and look forward to leave the main roads.
During my time in the Vipassana center and with all the Visa requests I always have to name my ‚real‘ age 58. But this are the years I love with this body on this planet. I don’t agree what this body does, for example getting swollen feet, feeling older than I feel inside, having all this walking and muscles troubles…..
After coming into my power again, which took me nearly 3 weeks, I realize, that I come back towards the ‚other‘ truth. Earlier in this blog I mentioned, that I count my age since my 54th birthday backwards. Reguarding this truth, which is also real to me, I am now 49. And that’s how I feel now.
On the way to become again 27!!!! (or let’s say the third time 27) I am in the 3rd decade (one decade is 27) in the forth year. This feels so good and empowering and my body mind system has to follow. ( And I don’t care, that my skin does not look like this (the skin can also follow) but my bodily fitness and my mindset has to continue to be flexible)
